Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My father is already old, he has high blood pressure and a fast heart rate, what medicine is good for him?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your father's age and the symptoms of hypertension accompanied by a rapid heart rate, it is recommended that he take oral angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and beta-blockers to lower blood pressure. This is because beta-blockers have the effect of slowing down the heart rate. If the symptoms of a mild, irritating cough reappear, it is necessary to stop the ACE inhibitor and switch to AT1 receptor blockers and beta-blockers for treatment. The above information can be used as a reference.
