Patient's question:
I recently feel dizzy, chest tightness, poor appetite, and lack of vitality. I went to the hospital, and after the doctor measured my blood pressure, he said I have high blood pressure. How should I treat my high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from hypertension, the first step is to improve lifestyle: ensure sufficient deep sleep, avoid overexertion and intense exercise, develop a habit of regular activity, and maintain a healthy weight. At the same time, try to adopt a low-sodium, low-fat diet, eat lightly, and keep daily salt intake below 6 grams if possible. Eat small, frequent meals and chew food thoroughly. You can consume fish, eggs, and dairy products, but try to limit the intake of animal organs. For those who work overtime, gradually adjust their schedule to avoid overtime as much as possible. Additionally, active oral medication should be used to control blood pressure, and antihypertensive drugs can be administered intravenously to manage blood pressure. Regular health check-ups should be conducted.
