Patient's question:
Is primary hypertension a common form of hypertension? Without medication, how can high blood pressure be lowered in primary hypertension? Is the effect of reducing blood pressure through food good for primary hypertension? What foods are effective in reducing high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Primary hypertension is what we commonly refer to as hypertension, which may be related to factors such as intergenerational inheritance and diet. If hypertension is first detected or the blood pressure is not very high, medication can initially be avoided. Adjusting the diet, increasing salt intake, and enhancing physical activity may help lower blood pressure to normal levels. However, no specific food can effectively reduce hypertension. If stable blood pressure control is not achieved through diet and activity adjustments, it is still recommended to take antihypertensive medication.
