Patient's question:
I have a history of high blood pressure for over ten years. My blood pressure has reached as high as 200/120mmHg when measured. I have been taking medication, but it hasn't been very effective. I want to know how I should be treated.Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is caused by long-term blood pressure not being maintained at a normal level, leading to the repeated occurrence of hypertensive encephalopathy, which can manifest symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Patients with hypertension are advised to follow a low-sodium diet, engage in appropriate acute physical exercise, maintain a pleasant mood, and choose antihypertensive medications that suit their condition to keep their blood pressure at a normal level.
