Patient: Description of condition (main symptoms, onset) 59 years old: had hypertension, genetic history, the past ten years because of insistence on long-distance running without medication. Blood pressure is not high. Recently, I read in the newspaper that blood pressure is high in the morning after waking up, so I paid attention to measuring it, usually at 5:30 in the morning, systolic blood pressure is about 170, diastolic blood pressure is about 95 or less than 90. When you come back from a run, your blood pressure can be lowered to around 130|80 or even lower, and can be stable throughout the day. Blood lipids are normal in the physical examination. I need to take medication in this case, and if so, what is the best medication to take? When is the best time to take it? Thank you! The Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Xiyuan Hospital, Department of Oncology Wang Jianbin Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Eye Hospital, Department of Internal Medicine Wang Jianbin: It is recommended to check the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure to see how the situation around the clock, if there is a morning peak, it is recommended to use drugs to make the blood pressure reach the standard. Occasional blood pressure measurements do not reflect the overall picture of your blood pressure.
