Patient's question:
My colleague had been experiencing dizziness for a while and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, which revealed high blood pressure. The medication prescribed included aspirin for high blood pressure. How should aspirin for high blood pressure be taken?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension, such as accompanied by cerebrovascular dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and other symptoms, can be controlled with medication. Hypertension medications generally do not cause significant irritation to the stomach, so it is usually recommended to take them on an empty stomach in the morning. As time progresses, people's blood pressure gradually increases in the morning. Therefore, taking medication on an empty stomach in the morning allows the drug to take effect in the body, effectively lowering blood pressure during the day.
