Can patients with coronary heart disease take hydrochlorothiazide tablets?
Disease description:
I have coronary heart disease and also have high blood pressure. I heard that hydrochlorothiazide tablets can help relieve it— is that true?
Patients with coronary heart disease can generally take hydrochlorothiazide tablets. Coronary heart disease is often accompanied by hypertension, which may cause abnormal symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and vertigo. Under a doctor's guidance, patients can usually take diuretic medications like hydrochlorothiazide tablets, along with vasodilators such as captopril, to achieve blood pressure reduction.
