Patient's question:
Today I went for a follow-up blood pressure check. The doctor said my blood pressure is still high and that I need to start medication. I've always been worried about the side effects of Western medicine and have refused it so far, but now I have to understand. I can't control it without medication. Besides, I also want to know what I should eat when I have high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Patients with high blood pressure should primarily focus on eating more light vegetables and fruits in their daily diet. At the same time, they should try to avoid fried foods as much as possible and consume more whole grains, which can help in the complete recovery of high blood pressure. Additionally, it is important to avoid frequent overtime work and ensure good rest and deep sleep. Combining these measures with the use of antihypertensive medications for regulation can also lead to the decision to use long-acting antihypertensive drugs.
