Patient's question:
The elderly person has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for over a year. Recently, they have been constantly complaining of dizziness and headaches. My sister said it was caused by high blood pressure, so we gave them antihypertensive medication. Now, regarding their diet, I would like to ask the doctor what precautions high blood pressure patients should take?Doctor's answer:
1. First, the patient needs to increase salt intake. Salt intake per day should not exceed six grams.2. Blood pressure must be treated promptly to prevent other serious conditions, such as reoccurrence of cerebral hemorrhage.
3. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid excessively greasy foods, especially those high in fat. Rest more.
