Patient's question:
Friends and family all have high blood pressure. Recently, when my friend had their blood pressure checked, they found they also had high blood pressure. I want to ask how to treat hereditary hypertension.Doctor's answer:
First, it is recommended to follow a low-sodium and low-fat diet. Smoking and drinking must be strictly prohibited to prevent long-term overexertion and pressure. It is important to consume more fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, mustard greens, and burdock, and to develop the habit of drinking a glass of cool boiled water on an empty stomach every morning. If there is hyperlipidemia, it must be treated simultaneously. These measures are necessary; otherwise, the effect of blood pressure reduction will not be good. Antihypertensive drugs should be determined under the guidance of a doctor. The control of primary hypertension mainly relies on medication. Severe hypertension requires the use of other antihypertensive drugs in combination.
