Patient's question:
My grandfather has high blood pressure and suffers from headaches and leg numbness every day. His condition became worse yesterday compared to before, and the whole family is very worried about him. However, they don't know how to help, so they are asking the doctor: If the symptoms are like this, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
If high blood pressure cannot be well controlled, it can lead to headaches. Numbness in the legs should be considered whether there is inflammation in the lumbar spine, such as a herniated disc, which can compress nerves and cause numbness in the legs. For high blood pressure, the appropriate antihypertensive medication should be determined, and it should be taken regularly and on schedule. If a single antihypertensive medication is not effective in controlling blood pressure, other medications can be combined. For leg numbness, it is best to consult a doctor in the rehabilitation department to have your lumbar spine examined and undergo additional rehabilitation treatment.
