Patient's question:
Our family has a history of hereditary hypertension. Recently, I was thoroughly examined at the hospital and found to have hypertension. In this period, I often experience poor appetite, headaches, chest tightness, and pain. I have been taking antihypertensive medication and have become dependent on it—cannot go without it. Hello doctor, how is hereditary hypertension treated?Doctor's answer:
Hereditary hypertension is primarily caused by familial genetic influences, which can lead to recurrent hypertension in individuals. This condition requires early medication to control blood pressure. It is recommended that you visit a hospital as soon as possible for medication adjustment and treatment. Additionally, during daily life, you should pay attention to your diet to prevent lipid levels from dropping. It is also advisable to engage in appropriate physical exercise to improve your overall physical fitness.
