Patient's question:
Sometimes my blood pressure is a bit high, which I measured during the summer. Now that winter has arrived, will my blood pressure change in the winter? How should I measure my blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor even if it's high in winter? If I have high blood pressure, do I need to take medication to treat it?Doctor's answer:
People with high blood pressure should pay attention to their blood pressure regularly. It is recommended to check blood pressure values about three times a week. By monitoring the data, one can infer whether their diet, exercise, and medication can help lower blood pressure. After taking medication, blood pressure will never rise, but it may be that the medication is not suitable for you. In that case, you can switch to a different antihypertensive medication. People with high blood pressure should ensure emotional stability and avoid excessive excitement or intense activities as much as possible.
