Can people with high blood pressure soak in hot springs?

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, it's not absolutely impossible to soak in hot springs, but you must pay attention. First, when soaking in hot springs, your entire 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 for patients with high blood pressure, or even insufficient blood supply to the brain. Don't soak for too long.
