Patient's question:
Recently, there have been many things happening at home, and I've been very busy, feeling exhausted. Especially these past few days, I've been experiencing occasional dizziness. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said my diastolic blood pressure is high. He advised me to be very careful, but I don't understand it at all. How should I handle high diastolic blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Early hypertension is mostly based on elevated diastolic pressure. If the current reading is not below 100, you may not need to take oral antihypertensive medication, but you should control your lifestyle well. Pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet, eat less fatty meat, drink more water, and develop a habit of daily activity. Avoid staying up late and maintain good deep sleep. Currently, you feel dizzy, so you can take blood-activating and blood-stagnation-reducing medication.
