Patient's question:
My father has a history of hypertension. I want to buy him a massage chair, so I'm whether people with hypertension can use a massage chair?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with hypertension can use massage chairs, as long as the massage intensity is not too strong and they do not become tense or anxious. It can relieve muscle and tendon fatigue, help with emotional relaxation, promote rest, and alleviate mental stress, among other health benefits. It is important to continue taking antihypertensive medication consistently and to avoid arbitrarily discontinuing or stopping the medication. Additionally, maintain a positive attitude and adhere to a low-salt, low-fat, and light diet.
