Patient's question:
I have smoked for a long time, and my health has always been poor. I got a detailed check of my blood pressure results and found it was high blood pressure. Can smoking cause high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Long-term smoking is one of the risk factors for hypertension, so for patients with hypertension, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and develop good living and dietary habits to prevent eating fried, greasy, and spicy stimulating foods. Appropriate physical exercise can help minimize the recurrence of conditions such as blood pressure elevation and contribute to improving overall health. Regulating physical and mental well-being, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
