Patient's question:
My grandfather has been feeling unwell recently. He went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told he has high blood pressure. He called me to ask about the symptoms and treatment for high blood pressure, but I don't know either. Could you tell me about the symptoms and treatment for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Dizziness is the most common symptom of high blood pressure. Some are temporary and often occur when suddenly crouching or standing up, while others are persistent. Dizziness is the patient's main pain. They experience continuous depression and discomfort in their head, severe impairment in thinking, interference with training, and a loss of interest in surrounding things. Hypertensive encephalopathy refers to a sudden drop in blood pressure, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, severe headache, panic, frequent urination, and even blurred vision. Family members should comfort the patient to relax, rest in bed, take antihypertensive medication promptly, and also take diuretics, sedatives, and other medications.
