Hello,
With the question “How are men with high blood pressure treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Diet and exercise are measures to support the treatment of hypertension. If the blood pressure is still higher than 140/90 mmHg, the drug should be combined.
There are many drugs to treat blood pressure, the choice of drug depends on the characteristics of the patient and the goal is to control blood pressure within normal limits.
During treatment, it is necessary to follow treatment, monitor blood pressure and side effects if any. Notify the doctor for appropriate adjustment.
If you still have questions about men with high blood pressure, you can take your father to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
