Patient's question:
My grandmother's high blood pressure is a bit severe. I want to know what range should the salt intake be controlled within for this type of high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you currently described, you said your grandmother has slightly severe high blood pressure. In this case, it is indeed necessary to control salt intake, keeping it around six grams per day. It is not advisable to consume too much, as about six grams is roughly the amount of salt in one beer bottle cap. While controlling salt intake, it is also important to increase physical activity. Additionally, medication can be used to lower blood pressure, ensuring all blood pressure targets are met. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
