Patient's question:
My grandmother has always had high blood pressure. In the past two years, as she has aged, she has told me that she often feels like she is about to faint. She is particularly afraid that if she falls, she might have a stroke. So, she asked me to ask you. Regarding her condition, what should she eat more of, and what should she avoid?Doctor's answer:
Hello, elderly people often have a history of hypertension. The key treatment involves regularly monitoring blood pressure data and taking oral antihypertensive medications. If blood pressure control is not ideal, it is necessary to promptly adjust the antihypertensive medication. Conduct regular monitoring of data in a formal hospital and adjust medication methods accordingly. Never sell or replace antihypertensive medications arbitrarily on your own.As age increases, the degree of cerebral artery hardening and vascular hardening will also increase. This can lead to insufficient blood supply and frequent occurrences of dizziness. Formal oral antihypertensive medications, as well as antiplatelet aggregation and vascular-protecting medications, should be used.
