Patient's question:
My father has high blood pressure and high blood lipids. Sometimes he also experiences dizziness. How can we prevent diseases like heart attack and stroke?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if you have hypertension or hyperlipidemia, it can indeed lead to symptoms such as insufficient blood supply to the brain, which may further result in dizziness. It may also increase pressure on the heart, potentially leading to a myocardial infarction. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to dietary control and try to minimize the intake of excessively salty or greasy foods. At the same time, it is essential to use antihypertensive and lipid-lowering medications properly, such as Captopril tablets and Atorvastatin calcium tablets. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication usage.
