How to treat suspected hypertension?

Patient's question:

My mom has been experiencing headaches and dizziness sometimes while doing household chores, suddenly feeling lightheaded with black and dizzy eyes, forcing her to sit down and rest. However, when she stands up again, she feels just as dizzy. I suspect she might have high blood pressure. So, doctor, how should high blood pressure be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Suddenly, dizziness and a stuffy head appeared again, with a dizzy sensation in both eyes. This condition could be caused by high blood pressure. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant tests to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. If the high blood pressure is the cause, oral antihypertensive drugs should be taken for treatment. Pay attention to regulation in daily life, avoid emotional excitement, maintain a low-sodium and low-fat diet, and base your diet on light and simple food. Avoid excessive consumption of rich and fatty foods. At the same time, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and maintain a regular sleep schedule with early nights and no overtime. Develop a good lifestyle routine.
