Patient's question:
Father is sixty years old this year and has high blood pressure. He pays great attention to diet and rest. He also exercises regularly, and his blood pressure has always been well-controlled. However, he still experiences episodes of illness sometimes, and his eyes may develop tears in the retina. I would like to ask if bleeding in the retina due to high blood pressure is serious and whether medical treatment at the hospital is necessary?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure with retinal bleeding may indicate that the condition has been present for a relatively long time, and poor control of blood pressure in daily life can lead to many complications of high blood pressure reappearing. Retinal bleeding is relatively a serious disease, and in severe cases, it may lead to deafness. Therefore, in such cases, it is essential to seek medical diagnosis at the hospital and pay close attention to controlling blood pressure regularly.
