Patient's question:
My friend had a health check-up last week with a high blood pressure reading of 149 and a ventilation machine reading of 85. She is a 25-year-old female, and all other health check results were normal. There is no history of high blood pressure in her family. Hello, what could be the reason for this? What should be done in the future? Is it necessary to take antihypertensive medication?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from high blood pressure is recommended to follow a low-sodium diet and a low-fat diet. It is essential to avoid alcohol and prevent emotional excitement. If you have high blood lipids, it must be treated simultaneously. Otherwise, the blood pressure-lowering effect will not be good. Under the guidance of a local doctor, decide on blood pressure-lowering medications such as: nitroglycerin. It is better to choose sustained-release tablets such as Bosentan or sustained-release nifedipine tablets for oral administration, which can make blood pressure more stable. Eating more fruits and vegetables is beneficial and can help stabilize blood pressure.
