Patient's question:
I really don't understand. I'm clearly hypertensive and take medication for high blood pressure, yet I've ended up with low blood pressure. What should I do when taking medication for high blood pressure and ending up with low blood pressure? Is it scientifically possible for high blood pressure to turn into low blood pressure? What are the underlying reasons for this transformation from high blood pressure to low blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Considering you previously had high blood pressure. Now you have low blood pressure, the majority of the reasons are due to taking too many antihypertensive medications, leading to a significant decrease in blood pressure. In this case, it's necessary to re-adjust the medication regimen. Appropriately increase the dosage of the drugs. However, this does not mean that high blood pressure will never occur again. If you stop taking the medication blindly, it may lead to a rebound effect, potentially causing your blood pressure to drop even further in the future.
