Patient's question:
Our whole family is planning to go to a hot spring, but my grandmother has high blood pressure. Could you please tell me if people with high blood pressure can soak in a hot spring?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with high blood pressure are not absolutely unable to soak in hot springs, but they must pay attention. First, when soaking in hot springs, your whole body is immersed in hot water, which can cause the blood vessels in your skin to expand. To some extent, this can increase your blood circulation volume, which may lead to discomfort or even insufficient blood supply to the brain for patients with high blood pressure. Do not soak for too long.
