Patient's question:
My father has been suffering from high blood pressure for many years, and now he hasn't found the right medication to treat it. I don't want him to continue like this, so I want to ask the experts: what kind of nutritional supplements are good for high blood pressure? Quick-acting and with minimal side effects.Doctor's answer:
Mild hypertension can be controlled through a low-sodium, low-fat diet. Moderate to severe hypertension requires long-term medication to control blood pressure, keeping it below 140/90 mmHg. Common antihypertensive medications include ACE inhibitors or ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, etc. They can be used alone or in combination, usually starting with low doses. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
