Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband is only 45 years old this year. Today, his workplace organized a health check-up, and the doctor said he has high blood pressure. After I learned about it, I couldn't believe it. I took him for another check-up, and the results showed it was true. Doctor, could you please tell me the cause of high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Your husband recently discovered during a health check-up that he suffers from hypertension. There are many reasons for high blood pressure, such as frequent smoking and drinking beer, consuming too much pickled and greasy food, overtime work, lack of exercise, and being overweight. It is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible. Long-term high blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is advised to consult the cardiology department of the hospital for follow-up and use antihypertensive medication under the guidance of a doctor. Regular follow-up tests should be conducted, and a light diet should be maintained. Smoking and drinking beer should be avoided.
