Patient's question:
Hands and feet are very easy to get cold. Before taking a nap, I always soak my feet in hot water. Can people with high blood pressure soak their feet?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, you can soak your feet in warm water, but do not use water that is too hot. If you use very hot water to soak your feet, it can easily cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to a sudden increase in blood pressure. With high blood pressure, you should also pay attention to maintaining a calm mood and avoid excessive stress. Do not always be in a hurry or angry, and you should also be mindful of a light diet. It is necessary to achieve a low-salt, low-fat diet.
