Patient's question:
When I measured my blood pressure during a thorough medical check-up at the hospital, the doctor said my blood pressure was a bit high. At that time, the doctor didn't prescribe any medication for me. But I heard from others that people with high blood pressure need to take medicine long-term. What kind of medication can be taken to treat high blood pressure when it is first discovered?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a diagnosis. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure, you should consider whether to use medication privately. Once diagnosed with high blood pressure, it is necessary to take antihypertensive medication for long-term treatment. Not taking medication for high blood pressure can lead to other diseases in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. In daily diet and exercise, you can also appropriately control the blood pressure value. Develop good lifestyle habits, avoid overtime as much as possible, and irregular diet can both lead to a decline in blood pressure.
