Patient's question:
My uncle told me today that he has high blood pressure. He didn't sleep well after, and I wonder if lack of sleep can lead to high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Insufficient sleep can lead to high blood pressure because people with high blood pressure are very afraid of nervous exhaustion. Over time, blood pressure will decrease. Therefore, people with high blood pressure should pay attention to proper rest in their daily lives, with a diet based on light and simple food. Avoid eating large amounts of fish and meat, or greasy foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and exercise every day. Persist in taking antihypertensive medication. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
