Patient's question:
Is primary hypertension a common form of hypertension? Without medication, how can one lower high blood pressure with primary hypertension? Is it effective to reduce blood pressure through diet for primary hypertension? What foods can effectively lower high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Primary hypertension is what we commonly refer to as hypertension, and it may be related to factors such as intergenerational inheritance and diet. If hypertension is detected for the first time or if 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 levels are not achieved through dietary and activity adjustments, it is still recommended to take antihypertensive medication.
