How should young people with high blood pressure be treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, excuse me. I'm 26 years old, but I've been under a lot of life pressure recently. I just got married a year ago, and there's not much financial support at home, so I have to rely on myself to go to work. Besides, my job has just become stable, but it seems like the company is facing ups and downs again. So, I want to ask, what should young people do if they have high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation, it is preliminarily judged that the decrease in blood pressure is caused by long-term mental stress, which is physiological hypertension. You can reduce blood pressure through self-adjustment, always maintain a calm mindset, prevent long-term mental stress, view the current difficulties correctly, and engage in outdoor exercise during leisure time. If the blood pressure continues to decrease, it is recommended that you take medication for regulation. The diet should be based on light and nutritious food, avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and avoid drinking stimulating drinks such as strong tea and coffee.
