Patient's question:
Now that I'm getting older, every time I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, I find out that my blood sugar is high and my blood pressure is high. These are common issues for older people. I want to ask the doctor, how should high blood pressure be treated and what foods are good for it? Is there any way to alleviate it?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if there is a significant increase in blood pressure readings again, this situation can be considered for timely oral antihypertensive medication to actively treat it, such as ACE inhibitors, etc. During daily life, it is important to pay attention to a light diet and try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Pay attention to actively exercising your body and reducing weight. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
