Patient's question:
My aunt is over 60 years old. Recently, she has become obsessed with square dancing and often dances for a whole day, coming home very late. However, she has been suffering from high blood pressure for over 40 years and is still taking medication. I am very concerned about her health condition, so I would like to consult whether it is okay for someone with high blood pressure to sing and dance.Doctor's answer:
If high blood pressure is well-controlled, you can sing and dance. Just avoid vigorous dancing, but also don't do it for too long. If it's too long, it can easily lead to excessive fatigue and recurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. You can dance for about half an hour to an hour each day. Also, pay attention to rest and prevent overexertion, ensuring sufficient deep sleep. Go to bed early and wake up early without overtime, and develop a good lifestyle routine. The diet should be based on lightness, avoiding greasy and fried foods.
