Patient's question:
Checked carefully in the hospital for high blood pressure and want to ask about the treatment plan. What are the characteristics of menopausal high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is the most common chronic condition and the main risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In normal individuals, blood pressure fluctuates within a certain range due to changes in internal and external environments. Treatment methods include improving lifestyle to reduce and treat body weight gain, sodium intake, and the digestion of calcium and potassium salts, as well as increasing fat intake.The characteristics of perimenopausal hypertension include low awareness, with the incidence of hypertension increasing year by year, but awareness remains low, and many people are unaware they have hypertension. This includes a large number of perimenopausal patients with hypertension, whose symptoms progress slowly and often occur unintentionally and are neglected. Due to the lack of obvious symptoms, the best opportunity for treatment is often missed.
