Can people with high blood pressure engage in strenuous exercise?

Patient's question:

I have high blood pressure and have been taking medication for it. What precautions should I take? Can people with high blood pressure engage in strenuous exercise?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you are currently a patient with hypertension and have been taking antihypertensive medication. Therefore, intense activities are not suitable for you, but you should also engage in daily light activities that are not too strenuous. In terms of diet, it's important to follow a low-sodium and low-fat diet, as high blood lipid levels can lead to atherosclerosis, increase resistance in the heart, and help control blood pressure. Pay attention to your personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
