Patient's question:
My husband has always had high blood pressure, and his blood pressure has been under control. Recently, his blood pressure has been unstable, fluctuating high and low. Even after adjusting his medication at the hospital, it's still the same. I'm not sure if it's due to a problem with his diet. People with high blood pressure should eat a healthy diet. How should it be managed?Doctor's answer:
For patients with high blood pressure, it is beneficial to eat more fruits, such as hawthorn, bananas, dragon fruit, and figs. This is a good practice and can help lower blood pressure. Avoid consuming too much salt and maintain a low-sodium diet, as excessive salt intake can easily raise blood pressure. Additionally, try not to get angry or upset, as emotional stress can also increase blood pressure. Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential. If blood pressure is particularly high, medication may be necessary.
