Patient's question:
I went out of the house earlier today, so I forgot to take my high blood pressure medication. What should I do since I forgot to take my high blood pressure medication?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure and occasionally forget to take a dose of medication, it should have no significant impact on your blood pressure. Generally, when you have high blood pressure, it is recommended to take long-acting antihypertensive medication once a day, which can achieve the effect of slowly and stably lowering blood pressure. Long-acting antihypertensive medication will never cause blood pressure to fluctuate wildly and will never stimulate blood vessels. If you have high blood pressure, you should also pay attention to a light diet.
