Patient's question:
I have high blood pressure and often experience symptoms like dizziness and headaches. Especially when I'm in a bad mood, my blood pressure drops. I usually have acne, and recently I've been planning to eat peanuts to help stabilize my acne condition. I'm wondering if people with high blood pressure can eat peanuts. Can people with high blood pressure eat peanuts?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure is better not to eat peanuts, because peanuts can be eaten by people with anemia. Peanuts have the effect of tonifying qi. If high blood pressure eats peanuts, it may cause blood pressure to drop. People with high blood pressure also need to take antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor. They should pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. People with high blood pressure should eat more celery, duck eggs, and kelp. They should also avoid high-fat foods or fatty meat and need to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
