Patient's question:
I'd like to ask on my behalf, because my mother often takes medication for high blood pressure, what are the side effects of high blood pressure medication?Doctor's answer:
All drugs have side effects, and high blood pressure medications are no exception. High blood pressure medications are divided into five types: First, calcium channel blockers, whose common side effects include dizziness, facial flushing, and lower limb edema, etc. Second, ACE inhibitors, whose side effect is a mild, irritating cough. Third, beta-blockers, which can slow heart rate. Fourth, diuretics, which can cause low potassium levels. Fifth, AT1 receptor blockers, which occasionally cause dizziness.
