Patient's question:
My friend carefully checked and found that they have had high blood pressure for three years. The test results showed Sj?gren's syndrome. After confirming the high blood pressure, how many times do you need to measure continuously to be accurate? Hypertensive patients need to measure their blood pressure many times a day. When should they measure?Doctor's answer:
The frequency and timing of blood pressure measurements do not interfere with each other. For severe blood pressure conditions, it is recommended to measure once every hour to monitor blood pressure levels at any time. Measurements can be taken as long as the person is in a calm state. Currently, the most effective regimens include calcium channel blockers combined with angiotensin receptor blockers, or calcium channel blockers combined with thiazide diuretics, or a combination of all three. Each approach has its own characteristics and indications, and it is recommended to use medications under the guidance of a doctor, tailored to your specific condition.
