Patient's question:
My parents don't have high blood pressure, but both my grandparents do. Could it be inherited across generations to my parents? My parents are still young, and they've told me that high blood pressure has a genetic component. Hearing this, I'm very scared! Should we start early prevention work? How should we do it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is a certain relationship between a history of hypertension and intergenerational inheritance. However, if you take early preventive measures and pay close attention to your lifestyle, it is absolutely possible to prevent hypertension from recurring. Therefore, it is essential to focus on prevention. You should follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, maintain regular physical activity every day, avoid overtime work, and refrain from habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. By paying attention to these aspects, you can prevent hypertension from recurring.
