What should I do about high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Just checked carefully and found that my blood pressure is a bit high and hasn't come down. I'm feeling dizzy and can't take it anymore. Taking blood pressure medication can definitely relieve it and lower it, but I don't want to be dependent on it. I don't want to keep taking medication. What should I do about high blood pressure? Exclude the need for medication methods.

Doctor's answer:

If the blood pressure is only slightly elevated now, you can first try adjusting your diet and lifestyle to see if it improves. This involves a low-sodium, low-fat diet, appropriate control of food intake, avoiding greasy and rich foods, and engaging in regular exercise to control your weight. If this conservative approach does not show improvement, it is still advisable to consult a doctor in person to determine the appropriate antihypertensive medication treatment. Additionally, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If the blood pressure is well-controlled, it can help prevent complications such as heart, brain, and kidney damage.
