Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is 72 years old this year. My mother has had high blood pressure for several years and has been taking antihypertensive drugs for treatment. However, she now has heart failure. I would like to ask, how should primary hypertension be treated when it is separated from heart failure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a serious disease that endangers human physical health. Long-term hypertension can cause severe damage to organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. The patient currently has hypertension and heart failure, which is a very dangerous emergency requiring immediate hospital treatment. The patient generally exhibits symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, and sweating. Generally, hypertension complicated with heart failure is not solely caused by hypertension, so while treating hypertension, other related diseases must also be addressed.
