Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had my blood pressure checked at the children's hospital, and it turns out I have slightly high blood pressure. What should I do about slightly high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hypertension requires several tests to assess the condition. You can go to the cardiovascular department of the hospital for follow-up examinations. If it is mild hypertension, you can control your diet, engage in sufficient physical activity, and monitor blood pressure data periodically. If it is moderate to severe hypertension, you need regular antihypertensive medication. Long-acting antihypertensive drugs can be used for treatment, and blood pressure data, as well as liver and kidney function, should be monitored periodically. Rest well in daily life, avoid emotional excitement and overwork, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and greasy foods.
