Patient's question:
My father-in-law suffers from high blood pressure, and I'm very worried about him. So, I'd like to know what folk remedies there are for treating high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Your father-in-law suffers from hypertension, which is a common cardiovascular disease among the elderly. It is likely related to age-related vascular aging and hardening. His ability to regulate blood pressure has deteriorated. Currently, the main treatment for hypertension is oral antihypertensive medication. It is not recommended to use folk remedies casually, as their effectiveness is uncertain. It is advised to revisit a public hospital's internal medicine department and consult a physician to determine the appropriate antihypertensive medication. Take the medication on schedule and regularly check your blood pressure to maintain good control.
