Patient's question:
My husband hasn't been feeling well this month, his complexion looks quite pale, and his skin seems to lack color. I've given him supplements for many internal organs, and recently he's been experiencing dizziness. Upon careful examination, it was found that he has high blood pressure. Doctor, what is the connection between anemia and high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Anemia and hypertension do not have a significant correlation, but both can lead to anemia symptoms. Anemia is detected through a blood test, where a decrease in red blood cells and hemoglobin is observed. In severe cases, hypotension may occur. Hypertension, on the other hand, is measured by blood pressure, but most blood tests are normal. Patients with hypertension, in addition to medication to control blood pressure, also need to pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol.
