Patient's question:
A colleague's father has been saying he has a headache recently. He wants to ask the doctor about the symptoms of a headache caused by high blood pressure.Doctor's answer:
Headache caused by hypertension primarily occurs on both sides of the head, near the temples, and can also manifest as a sensation of head fullness and pain. It doesn't necessarily have to be limited to this area. Hypertension is generally not easily curable, and appropriate antihypertensive medication treatment should be determined under the guidance of a doctor during a face-to-face consultation. Controlling blood pressure effectively helps reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, a low-sodium, low-fat diet, proper control of food intake, and regular exercise are recommended to manage weight.
