Patient's question:
My uncle went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with stage 2 moderate-risk hypertension. How should stage 2 moderate-risk hypertension be treated?Doctor's answer:
The main medications for stage II hypertension are also antihypertensive drugs, which require combined use. Examples include benazepril and amlodipine, or in combination with diuretics. It is recommended that patients go to the neurology department or cardiology department of the hospital for consultation. First, a definitive diagnosis should be confirmed, and then medication decisions should be made based on the patient's cardiac function. During the medication process, it is essential to regularly recheck blood pressure and adjust the medication and dosage according to the blood pressure readings.
