Can high blood pressure get a chronic illness certificate?

Patient's question:

Can high blood pressure get a chronic illness certificate? Will it have any bad effects on the body? What should be paid attention to when you have high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with hypertension can register for chronic diseases and obtain chronic disease cards, but only those with stage 2 or stage 3 hypertension (moderate to severe hypertension) are eligible. Hypertension still has a certain impact on the body, and there are many precautions to be aware of. First, in terms of diet, it is important to follow a low-fat, low-salt, and low-cholesterol diet. Control salt intake, and avoid consuming animal organs, fatty meats, and egg yolks. Developing good lifestyle habits also helps in controlling blood pressure.
