Patient's question:
I am a patient with high blood pressure and have been taking antihypertensive medication, which has been kept under control. However, recently, due to many things, my high blood pressure has recurred, and I have also developed neurasthenia. I would like to ask what should be done when high blood pressure leads to neurasthenia?Doctor's answer:
If hypertensive patients experience neurodepression, attention should be paid to implementing dietary adjustments. It is important to reduce the intake of excessively salty foods and achieve a low-sodium, low-fat diet. At the same time, sufficient physical exercise should be ensured to maintain psychological balance. This can help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, long-term oral antihypertensive medication should be taken for treatment. Blood pressure should be monitored regularly, and antihypertensive medication should be taken when blood pressure is unstable.
