Patient's question:
In recent days, I've been experiencing severe stomach issues. Someone recommended that brewing chrysanthemum and goji berries in water can help reduce "fire" in the body. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I decided to give it a try. However, I've had high blood pressure for over ten years now. Can people with high blood pressure drink chrysanthemum and goji berry tea? Will it have any impact?Doctor's answer:
Patients with high blood pressure can drink this chrysanthemum and goji berry tea without any issues. However, drinking this will not have any stabilizing effect on blood pressure. Medications for lowering blood pressure should be taken as prescribed and should not be adjusted or the dosage changed arbitrarily. It is advisable to drink more water and consume more vegetables and fruits, which should be beneficial for reducing inflammation. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical examination at the hospital.
