Patient's question:
Dear doctor, I've been feeling pain recently, and my head has been hurting severely. I wanted to ask about the cause, and later found out it was high blood pressure. So, I'd like to ask if running is beneficial for high blood pressure? The answer to this question is very important to me.Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension can engage in running, which is highly recommended. Patients with hypertension should engage in appropriate physical exercise to avoid discomfort in the body. Aerobic exercise should be the foundation, such as running, walking, ice skating, and practicing Tai Chi. Additionally, patients with hypertension should avoid exposure to extreme cold or heat in daily life. When going out for a run in the morning, it is important to take precautions against the cold. It is not necessary to take excessively hot baths or steam baths.
