Patient's question:
I have been suffering from coronary heart disease for 10 years. Previously, I didn't have high blood pressure. About one and a half months ago, I suddenly felt dizzy and had palpitations, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Then I was hospitalized for treatment for a period of time and took losartan potassium tablets, which stabilized my blood pressure. Yesterday, I suddenly felt dizzy again, so I went to the hospital to measure my blood pressure, which was 200/90. Can patients with coronary heart disease take losartan potassium tablets long-term?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the current medications you are taking are not ideal and cannot control your blood pressure. Because there is a significant individual variation among patients with hypertension, and the medication plans also differ. Without understanding your specific physical condition and illness, it is impossible to directly formulate a medication plan. It is recommended that you should go to the local regular hospital's cardiology department for a follow-up visit as soon as possible. After improving relevant tests, the doctor can personally guide you to use appropriate antihypertensive drugs for treatment.
