Patient's question:
The doctor is male and 56 years old this year. Recently, he felt a bit anxious and had a thorough check-up, which revealed slightly high blood pressure. I am a bit worried, so I'm asking you, how should high blood pressure be adjusted? Besides, what foods should I avoid in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension generally requires standardized oral antihypertensive medications under the guidance of a doctor to control blood pressure. Additionally, blood pressure should be checked periodically, and the dosage of antihypertensive medications or a switch to new medications should be adjusted based on the control level of blood pressure. The treatment of hypertension should address both lifestyle and medication aspects. In terms of lifestyle, it is important to follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and stay active. Pay special attention to reducing salt intake. Avoid smoking and drinking beer.
