Patient's question:
My father is in his fifties, in middle age, and suffers from high blood pressure. He has been taking the medication prescribed by his doctor regularly, but it only helps to control it and cannot cure it. I would like to know what daily precautions are important for people with high blood pressure besides taking medication?Doctor's answer:
Now, the elderly have been suffering from high blood pressure for a certain period of time. This condition requires long-term oral antihypertensive drug treatment and cannot be interrupted. If the antihypertensive medication is effective, the patient still needs to maintain a controlled daily lifestyle. First, he should not have the habit of working overtime. Second, he needs to quit smoking, drinking, and other bad habits. The elderly should have the habit of staying active. Persistence in activity can help stabilize high blood pressure and prevent high blood pressure complications.
