Treatment-resistant HTN
Abdul Alim, 32 years old, a Bangladeshi chef, working in a local restaurant close to my clinic, coming to me for the past 2 weeks with multiple complaints. Besides the features of the seasonal flu or COVID-19, he was also having very high blood pressure. Two weeks earlier it was 180/110 mmHg. That time, he was not on any pressure medicines. 

He was a known patient of high blood pressure (known as hypertension) but stopped taking the medication 💊. Surprisingly, despite having such high BP, he didn't have any symptoms of it. Considering his younger age and absence of symptoms, I asked him to resume his previous BP medication which was tab Atenolol 50 mg. I told him to come after 1 week. 

In the subsequent week, I checked his BP and it was the same; 180/110 mmHg. He denied of any missing dose. I decided to change the medication and started tab Amlodipine 5mg at night and tab Losartan potassium 50 mg at morning. 

After 10 days, he came back again and when I checked, I found the same BP; 180/110 mmHg. There was no change at all.

This is a case of refractory or resistant hypertension (HTN). He may have other secondary cause of HTN, notably renal stenosis or pheochromocytoma. Resistant HTN refers to a condition where more than one drugs fail to control the blood pressure. Sometimes, it may happen when a patient doesn't comply with the drugs and advice. Sometimes, when the pressure goes up due to any other underlying conditions. 
My patient most likely has some underlying conditions. <br/> _This report was published via Actifit app ([Android](https://bit.ly/actifit-app) | [iOS](https://bit.ly/actifit-ios)).
