Patient's question:
My mother has high blood pressure. In the past one or two years, her eyes often swell and sometimes her hands also swell. How did this cause happen? What should be done about high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"It describes the condition, hypertension, and the patient is currently undergoing medication treatment. Now, eyelid edema frequently occurs, and hand edema may also occasionally recur. This situation should first be considered a complication of hypertension. If there is hypertensive nephropathy, the third consideration should be whether other diseases are mixed in. Additionally, drug side effects should be taken into account, such as calcium channel blockers, which can cause recurrent edema. It is recommended to visit the cardiology department to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment."
