Patient's question:
Doctor, I always feel dizzy and weak all over. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy. How should I treat high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy? What is the cause of this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you are now experiencing left ventricular hypertrophy again, which is caused by high blood pressure. This proves that you have had high blood pressure for some time, and it is also possible that your high blood pressure is quite severe. If left ventricular hypertrophy is not treated, it may lead to left ventricular fibrosis, which could eventually result in left ventricular failure. Now you need to take antihypertensive medication, and you should take a medication that can reverse left ventricular hypertrophy, such as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or a calcium channel blocker. Choose one type.
