Patient's question:
I am a middle school teacher and generally in good health. Recently, the school organized a health check-up, and the results revealed that I have high blood pressure. This was not the case last year, and I am very concerned. I mainly want to consult about how to treat high blood pressure. Could you please provide guidance, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients should first pay attention to controlling salt intake, not exceeding six grams per day. Be mindful not to eat excessively greasy foods, and consume more fresh green vegetables and fruits. Increase the intake of organic foods, focus on enhancing physical exercise to improve physical fitness. At the same time, avoid excessive stress and maintain a relaxed mental state. If the effects are not satisfactory, actively cooperate with antihypertensive medication to control blood pressure. Maintain a calm mood and avoid getting easily agitated.
