Patient's question:
My husband has high blood pressure. He recently feels a bit darker after being exposed to the sun and wants to eat my melatonin. Can people with high blood pressure take melatonin?Doctor's answer:
People with high blood pressure should not take melatonin. In this case, they are usually taking hormone medications, which are not beneficial for blood pressure. If you are darker-skinned, that's fine. When going out, wearing a hat and sunglasses for sun protection will have a certain effect. Taking melatonin is harmful to health and offers no benefits, so it's best not to take it. Pay attention to applying sunscreen or a sun-blocking cream regularly. Drink more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
