Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, my mother frequently experienced dizziness, so I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. It was discovered that she had high blood pressure. Although she is now taking some medication, I am still quite concerned about her health. Hello, what should people with high blood pressure pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is not cured by taking antihypertensive medication orally once or twice. It usually requires lifelong medication treatment and attention to monitoring data and blood pressure. If blood pressure is well-controlled, it can reduce the risk of complications recurring. Additionally, a low-salt, low-fat diet, appropriate food intake control, and moderate exercise are necessary to manage weight. If hypertension is left uncontrolled, it can lead to complications such as hypertensive heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction.
