What should I do if I can’t lower my high blood pressure in a diabetic foot patient?

  He was originally going to have his leg amputated in the local area, but the doctor considered that his blood pressure was high and sometimes high and low, so he had to wait until his blood pressure stabilized before surgery. Later, he was referred to our department, and his leg was not amputated through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. However, his problem is very common, and now we will briefly talk about it for his situation.  First, the diabetic foot infection was not controlled. Because the doctor in the hospital only simply anti-inflammatory and sterilization, the symptoms have not been controlled, and the pain is unbearable, which to some extent has a stress response to blood pressure. Especially at night, it is difficult to sleep, blood pressure will be more out of control.  Second, the doctor’s orders are not respected and the blood pressure medicine is not taken on time. The family described that the patient did not take antihypertensive medication on time, but very randomly, taking some when he felt high, and not when he did not, taking it on time during the treatment of wound ulceration in the hospital, but not after he went home, which may also be one of the reasons why his blood pressure was out of control.  Third, think that amputation is the only way. Because of the treatment of many hospitals, some hospitals do not even accept him, giving the impression that there is no other way but amputation, leading to the abandonment of treatment. If the family did not look for treatment online, it may really be an amputation.  Fourth, and this is also very common, is the common belief that things like blood sugar and blood pressure are the main factors affecting wound healing, and that you have to wait until they are all under control and stable before you do the next step in treatment. This will definitely delay the disease, because the causes of poor wound healing are also infections, etc., which need to be controlled as soon as possible.  The effective way to control infection is to do wound debridement on inflammatory infected wounds based on controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, etc., clean out the necrotic tissue and open the wound so that the infection can be more easily controlled when the germ load is reduced. Then combined with our comprehensive treatment of Chinese herbal medicine, the diabetic foot can heal quickly and without amputation.
