Patient's question:
My father has had high blood pressure for several years. Recently, during a thorough physical check-up, he was found to have gout. I heard that people with high blood pressure are prone to gout, so they should pay attention to it in daily life. What should patients with both high blood pressure and gout avoid?Doctor's answer:
People with high blood pressure cannot eat certain things in their diet, as consuming them can affect their blood pressure. For those who have both high blood pressure and gout, they need to be even more cautious about what they eat. Meats, animal organs, meat hot pots, and fried foods are all things they should avoid. They should drink a lot of water every day and have their blood pressure checked daily. It is also important to regularly visit the hospital for follow-up checks to see if their blood pressure is stable.
