Patient's question:
Doctor, I am over 70 years old this year, and I was diagnosed with diabetes, so I have been taking many medications. I also have hypertension for many years and have been taking antihypertensive drugs. We keep all our medications together. Today, while I was taking my medication, I accidentally took my husband's medication. Could you please tell me if taking hypertension medication will have an impact on my health?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first and foremost, I still need to remind you to pay close attention to safety during your medication use. The current antihypertensive medication you are taking may cause your blood pressure to drop. It is recommended to closely monitor your blood pressure data in this situation. Additionally, pay attention to drinking more water and urinating more frequently to maximize the timely decomposition and metabolism of the medication. If dizziness occurs again, promptly return to the hospital for follow-up treatment. Rest well, and avoid moving too quickly when going to bed to prevent fainting.
