Patient's question:
I particularly like eating pomelos. Hello, does pomelo affect high blood pressure? Can people with high blood pressure eat pomelos?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients can eat grapefruit, but grapefruit has no therapeutic effect on high blood pressure. After developing high blood pressure, it is necessary to have a thorough check of oral antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure, to avoid the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and kidney damage. Specific antihypertensive drugs include amlodipine tablets, slow-release nifedipine tablets, irbesartan-hydrochlorothiazide tablets, valsartan capsules, etc. At the same time, it is recommended to go to the hospital regularly for check-ups on blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar levels.
