Resistant Hypertension — Classical Chinese Medicine Support for Difficult Blood Pressure Control
Resistant hypertension — blood pressure remaining above goal despite appropriate doses of three antihypertensives (including a diuretic) — affects approximately 10-15% of hypertensive patients. Requires specialist work-up for secondary causes and careful management. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) provides supportive treatment alongside cardiology management.
