Patient's question:
Grandma has high blood pressure and has very poor deep sleep. Can some medication with a sleep-inducing effect be given to the elderly? My grandma now takes medicine every day, which seems to be for treating high blood pressure. I would like to consult a doctor about whether people with high blood pressure can take sleep-inducing medication?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if high blood pressure issues reappear, it is possible to take sleeping pills in this situation. Long-term problems with deep sleep often tend to easily trigger an increase in blood pressure readings. It is recommended that you consider taking sleeping medication on time to enhance deep sleep. During your daily routine, pay close attention to avoiding excessive exertion and engage in moderate physical exercise. Take antihypertensive medication regularly.
