Hello, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lot. With the question of high blood pressure continuously taking medicine does not reduce, is there any danger? Then the answer is yes. When her high blood pressure doesn't go down with medication, she needs to see and consult a cardiologist to:
Comprehensively review and adjust her blood pressure control. It is possible to adjust the current blood pressure medication (change drug group, increase dose or combine drugs) in combination with adjusting diet and daily activities. Routine tests will be consulted to perform such as: Holter blood pressure, echocardiography, electrocardiogram, blood test. Clinical evaluation at the time of examination to add other indications of investigation to find the cause of uncontrolled hypertension. You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more advice.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec. Looking forward to meeting you for more specific advice!
