Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking if high blood pressure can cause dizziness and what treatment is available?Doctor's answer:
Headache and dizziness in patients with high blood pressure are caused by the expansion and increased pulsation of the external jugular veins due to high blood pressure. Under normal circumstances, antihypertensive drugs need to be taken to achieve the goal of reducing blood pressure and relieving symptoms. Patients with high blood pressure need to establish the awareness of lifelong medication, taking additional antihypertensive drugs on time and in the prescribed dosage as per medical advice. Additionally, the dietary structure should be adjusted to be light and nutritious, with low salt, low fat, and low cholesterol. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating extremely cold, greasy, and irritating foods to prevent constipation.
