Patient's question:
This year I am 14 years old, and I really love eating meat, both fatty and lean. I have also gained weight, and now I weigh 150 pounds. This must be considered overweight. Walking also feels very uncomfortable. Recently, I feel like I might have a bit of high blood pressure. Isn't high blood pressure uncommon in teenagers?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in recent years, the onset age of hypertension has been expanding towards younger and younger ages. For your current condition, it is recommended that you take antihypertensive medication to reduce blood pressure and prevent damage to target organs. Additionally, strictly control your diet, focusing on a light and nutritious diet. Low salt, low fat, and low cholesterol are essential, and avoid eating extremely cold, greasy, and irritating foods. Strictly control your weight and maintain appropriate physical exercise every day, with aerobic exercise as the foundation.
