Patient's question:
Can people with high blood pressure fly on airplanes? My mother is currently 63 years old, can she take a plane? Or should she take the high-speed train instead?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with hypertension can fly, but they need to carry antihypertensive medication during the process to prevent mental tension. Hypertensive patients should prioritize comprehensive evaluation and treatment, strive to eliminate various risk factors of hypertension, stabilize their dietary structure, adhere to appropriate physical exercise, and control their weight. Additionally, hypertensive patients should undergo regular outpatient follow-up. Those with mild symptoms should have their condition checked every 1-3 months, while high-risk individuals should be followed up monthly. Hypertensive patients need to master the correct method of measuring blood pressure, measure and record blood pressure on time, and monitor blood pressure data changes in the long term.
