Emedinews:Makesure:A 40–year–old hypertensive complains of head reeling in spite of being on antihypertensive.


Situation: A 40–year–old hypertensive complains of head reeling in spite of being on antihypertensive.
Reaction: Oh my God! Her blood pressure is still high. Why didn’t you advise lifestyle modification?
Lesson: Make sure to first advise lifestyle modifications like exercise, low salt diet, high fiber diet, decreasing stress etc. before advising antihypertensive medication, in patients with essential hypertension.
