Patient's question:
My father has high blood pressure. I want to cook a soup for him, so I'd like to consult. Can people with high blood pressure eat caterpillar fungus?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure can consume Cordyceps, but it's not a problem. However, consuming Cordyceps will not have any effect on lowering blood pressure. Therefore, in this case, it is important to actively adjust antihypertensive medication and control blood pressure based on blood pressure levels. Do not self-discontinue antihypertensive medication or increase the dosage. Pay attention to proper dietary control, maintain a regular diet, and avoid overworking or overtime.
