Patient's question:
What should my mom pay attention to regarding her high blood pressure? She usually loves eating pickled vegetables and fatty meats, and she is also a bit overweight and doesn't like to be active. I've heard from others that people with high blood pressure should not eat too much salt or too much meat, but she doesn't listen to us when we tell her. So, I want to find an expert in high blood pressure for consultation.Doctor's answer:
It is important to measure blood pressure regularly and strive to keep it within the normal range. Take antihypertensive medication on schedule and do not increase the dosage without authorization. Engage in appropriate physical activity. Avoid smoking, drinking beer, staying up late, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to ensure sufficient deep sleep. Hypertensive patients must pay close attention to their diet, avoiding excessive greasy and spicy foods, and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Follow a low-sodium, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet.
