Patient's question:
My father is 50 years old this year. Last year, while he was working at the construction site, he felt dizzy and almost fell. After a thorough examination, it was found to be high blood pressure, and medication was prescribed to control it. Is it good to take Olmesartan tablets long-term for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The decision on antihypertensive treatment varies from person to person. Since this treatment can effectively control the patient's blood pressure, it proves that the antihypertensive regimen is suitable for the patient. It is not recommended to switch to new medications. It is advised that the patient continue with the current medication regimen. As long as blood pressure is well-controlled, the sterile gauze can remain unchanged. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect it. Monitor data periodically and adjust medication as needed.
