Why does HBP not drop after taking drugs?
There are a lot of HBP patients, then can it go down after taking antihypertensive drugs?
Mr. Wang, 46 years old this year, 12 years ago, appeared headache and dizziness after drinking. Examination of blood pressure 180/110mmHg was diagnosed as EH 3 (high risk). Take a lot of antihypertensive drugs, but the blood pressure has been fluctuating between 170 - 230/100 - 140mmHg.

1 months ago, Mr. Wang was suddenly weak, could not walk, to check blood pressure 230/140mmHg, urine routine 3+, 24h urine protein quantity 1.59g, potassium 1.48mmol/L. After 3 days rescue, (Potassium below 3 can be a risk of cardiac arrest) a large number of potassium supplements were given. Temporarily out of danger, but the symptoms did not improve. So he decided to come to our hospital.
Admitting examination showed the blood pressure 200/120mmHg, 24h urine protein quantity 0.69g, potassium 2.75mmol/L.
Dr. Shi understood that he did not find the cause, let alone the symptomatic treatment. Through the professional examination in our hospital, finally found the cause was primary aldosteronism. Through our characteristic TCM treatment for 2 days, the blood pressure fell down. When the treatment for 9 days, potassium reached a normal value of 4.84mmol/L. 24h urine protein quantity was decreased to 0.29g for a period of 10 days treatment. The indicators have returned to normal, Mr.Wang's symptoms also disappeared, but he decided to continue to consolidate treatment for a few days.
HBP is not particularly terrible, if blood pressure is still not down after taking antihypertensive drugs, you need to find the cause, otherwise it will delay the disease.
