Patient's question:
My older brother is like other people his age, with high blood pressure and high blood lipids. Additionally, he has a bit of myocardial ischemia, which he only recently discovered. Because he is quite overweight, he has been eating very lightly, and his body can't handle it. Hello, how is high blood pressure and myocardial ischemia treated?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure can generally cause symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and discomfort in the neck and shoulders. Once diagnosed, it should be treated with oral antihypertensive medications. Do not arbitrarily change the dosage or stop taking the medication. Myocardial ischemia may be caused by coronary heart disease. Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries can lead to vessel narrowing, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart. Generally, oral blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs can be used for treatment.
