What therapy regimen would be used.
Homework Answers
First of all the patient should be asked to maintain a good sleep at night (up to 8 hours daily ). He should concentrate on his diet. Consulting with a doctor to obtain a balance diet is important. One cannot simply overlook the possibility of hypertension and high blood pressure occurrence. So a lipid profile test is important to diagnose the patient and the identification of root cause and the particular medicine with specific dosage required to treat.
