Patient's question:
The old man is 65 years old and has high blood pressure. His daughter-in-law bought some cod liver oil from the United States, saying it is very beneficial for his blood vessels. I checked the information and found that some people say it can be taken, while others say it is not advisable to take cod liver oil. I would like to ask the doctor if high blood pressure patients can take cod liver oil?Doctor's answer:
People with high blood pressure can consume some health supplements, such as cod liver oil, which has the effect of stabilizing microcirculation. However, it is not recommended to replace medication with these supplements. When taking oral health supplements, it is also necessary to regularly check liver and kidney function.People with high blood pressure should avoid emotional excitement and can complement some drugs that nourish heart and brain cells, such as Nao Xin Tong capsules, San Qi Shu Tong capsules, and Musk Heart Protecting Pills, etc. It is advisable to eat more light and nutritious foods.
