Patient's question:
I got high blood pressure when I was young. Back then, people were ignorant and science was underdeveloped. They thought that high blood pressure didn't require medication and it didn't matter. Later, when I was in my 40s, I started taking medication, but it was already a bit late. Now, it has led to malignant hypertension retinopathy. My vision has already started to weaken. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Now you have malignant hypertension, accompanied by retinopathy. You should consider surgical treatment. Before the surgery, it is essential to lower your blood pressure to normal levels. You need to take antihypertensive medication regularly. If your blood pressure rises significantly, you can take long-acting calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers together to reduce blood pressure. At the same time, you should take drugs that nourish brain cells for treatment. For retinopathy, if it is particularly severe, surgical treatment must be chosen.
