Patient's question:
55 Eighteen years old, in the recent two years, it was carefully checked that there is high blood pressure, but there is no feeling of discomfort. It is just that every time the blood pressure is measured, the ventilation fan is still normal, and the high pressure is a bit high. Hello doctor, does this high blood pressure really need to take medicine every day? What kind of medicine? When going to the county hospital for a health check, what items need to be carefully checked?Doctor's answer:
For patients with hypertension, it is generally necessary to take medication regularly every day. However, since each person's condition is different, differentiated treatment is also required. For health check-ups related to hypertension, an electrocardiogram (ECG), ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography, carotid artery ultrasound, lipid and blood glucose tests, and aldosterone blood tests should be conducted. Additionally, it is recommended that patients follow a low-salt, low-fat diet and engage in appropriate physical activity. When necessary, oral medication should be administered based on individual circumstances for treatment.
