Hello doctor,
My mother is 62 years old. Recently, she often suffers from insomnia, dizziness, dizziness, high blood pressure, blurred vision. Due to the Covid-19 situation, I could not go to the doctor. So the doctor told me to ask the elderly with high blood pressure and insomnia what to do? Is there any medicine to support my mother's treatment? My mother has a history of cervical spondylosis. Thank you doctor.
