Patient's question:
I want to ask the doctor, how much folic acid is appropriate to take for high blood pressure? What happens if you take too much?Doctor's answer:
The current cause of high blood pressure is not very clear. It may be related to factors such as intergenerational inheritance in your family, dietary and lifestyle habits. In addition, a lack of folic acid can also lead to a decrease in homocysteine, resulting in H-type hypertension. Currently, patients with high blood pressure can take 0.4mg-0.8mg of folic acid tablets orally. At the same time, it is recommended to eat fresh vegetables and fruits regularly and avoid greasy and salty foods. Long-term high-dose oral intake may lead to folic acid poisoning.
