Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling unwell, experiencing some discomfort in my joints, especially my finger joints, dry mouth, and sometimes severe dizziness, nausea, and the urge to vomit. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with low blood pressure and high blood sugar. I'm not sure what to eat. What kind of help is needed: What to eat for high blood sugar and low blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypotension is generally divided into physiological and pathological hypotension. If it is pathological, actively identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Physiological hypotension requires self-regulation, and clinical diagnosis can be achieved through dietary or traditional Chinese medicine regulation. Traditional Chinese medicines include Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus, among others. Daily intake of some qi-tonifying foods such as black beans, fresh red dates, and goji berries can be beneficial. Supplements like ginseng and Codonopsis pilosula can also be consumed. Daily life should emphasize rest, ensuring sufficient deep sleep, and avoiding overexertion. The diet should consist of high protein, high vitamins, and low sugar. When going out, be cautious to prevent falls. Avoid sudden head movements, and when going to bed, slowly turn over.
