Patient's question:
My grandmother is about 65 years old this year. She has had high blood pressure for a long time, and it has recently recurred. It's a bit serious, and every time her high blood pressure recurs, she feels very dizzy all over her head. I'm very worried about my grandmother's health, so I want to ask what should be done about her high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a chronic disease, and once it develops, it is difficult to cure completely. Therefore, it can only be managed through medication to maintain blood pressure within the normal range. It is advisable for your grandmother to take antihypertensive medication orally for a long period and measure her blood pressure in the morning and evening daily to keep it stable within the normal range. Additionally, regular light walking and exercise should be incorporated to help control blood pressure through physical activity.
