Yangtze River ** Wuhan Client, December 13 (Correspondent Wu Yang, Reporter Ke Meimei) There is no indication of infection in the respiratory tract, no signs of inflammation on chest X-ray, and the patient's frequent dry cough is actually induced by hypertension drugs. Recently, the lady came to the Hubei Provincial Hospital (Hubei Provincial ** Hospital) to see a doctor, and the doctor found the culprit of her frequent dry cough.
Recently, Ms. Yuan, who lives in Wuchang District, had intermittent cough, poor appetite, and her sleep was also affected, and her rest was not good. She thought she was infected with the flu and cold, so she took her own antibiotics and cold medicine.
However, two or three days passed, and Ms. Yuan's frequent dry cough did not relieve. The 65-year-old couldn't stand the pain of her endless coughing and went to the hospital.
Yu Hui, attending physician of chronic disease management of the Health Medical Center of Hubei Provincial Hospital (Hubei Provincial ** Hospital), received the treatment. Through communication and examination, Dr. Yu found that Ms. Yuan had no indication of respiratory tract infection, and the chest x-ray did not suggest inflammatory infection, but the eosinophils were high. The doctor learned that she was a hypertensive patient who had been taking amlodipine tablets, an antihypertensive drug. After the winter, the patient's blood pressure was unstable and high, so she was recommended by others to change the antihypertensive drug and take perindopril. Subsequently, she began to cough incessantly.
Based on Ms. Yuan's medical history and clinical manifestations, Yu Hui diagnosed that her cough was caused by an adverse reaction caused by the antihypertensive drug perindopril, and decisively instructed her to suspend perindopril and switch to irbesartan tablets to closely monitor her blood pressure. After a week, the patient's cough disappeared and his blood pressure stabilized.
Yu Hui said that with the change of temperature, patients with high blood pressure should not only pay attention to the prevention of respiratory infections, but also be careful of changes in blood pressure. In addition, there are many types of antihypertensive drugs, and the drugs have different adaptations and responses to each other. Therefore, once the patient's body is in a bad condition, he should go to the hospital for examination and treatment to find out the real cause to avoid making a big mistake.
According to the reporter's understanding, the hospital directly under the Hubei Provincial Government (Hubei Provincial ** Hospital) is building a health medical center. With the service tenet of "preventing serious diseases, managing chronic diseases, and promoting health", the center provides full-chain services such as pre-examination, in-examination and post-examination report interpretation, health science popularization, and chronic disease management for physical examination subjects.
