Patient's question:
Can people with high blood pressure eat deer antler? My sister recently bought some deer antler and brought it home. I said I didn't know if Grandpa could eat it.Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if high blood pressure reoccurs, it is not advisable to consume deer antler. Deer antler is a food that tonifies qi and blood, and excessive consumption often leads to a rise in blood pressure readings. It is recommended that you eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and you may also consider brewing tea with Salvia miltiorrhiza, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, Panax notoginseng powder, and Apocynum venetum. Regularly check in with your doctor.
