Patient's question:
How should high blood pressure be treated? What should middle-aged and elderly people pay attention to when suffering from high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension must be treated according to the severity of the condition. Generally, it is important to avoid smoking, drinking beer, and engaging in strenuous exercise. A regular diet is necessary, along with periodic blood pressure measurements. High-fat, greasy foods should also be avoided, and particular attention should be paid to ensuring that daily salt intake does not exceed six grams, preferably five grams per day. Regular oral antihypertensive medication should be taken to prevent complications.
