Patient's question:
My colleague has been feeling very tired for the past two years. Sometimes, he feels extremely dizzy, especially when he gets angry or emotionally agitated, and he often faints. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that he suffers from secondary hypertension. I would like to understand what medications are used to treat secondary hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Secondary hypertension can be treated with many specialized antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor. In China, there are a variety of antihypertensive drugs, which are currently mainly divided into five major categories. If the effect of a single drug is not good, combination therapy can also be considered. When selecting drugs, follow the doctor's advice, and also consider your blood pressure and drug allergy history. It is recommended that patients with secondary hypertension take medication to control blood pressure according to the doctor's advice and maintain emotional stability, avoiding excessive excitement.
