Does drinking vinegar have an effect on high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

If you have high blood pressure, can drinking vinegar lower blood pressure? I searched online today for many ways to lower blood pressure, and some said that drinking vinegar can also lower blood pressure. This method is also unknown whether it works.

Doctor's answer:

Vinegar has the effect of softening blood vessels. Hypertensive patients should consume some vinegar in moderation, as it can be beneficial for blood pressure. However, drinking vinegar does not lower blood pressure. If you want to reduce blood pressure, it is best to take antihypertensive medication regularly to control it. Additionally, hypertensive patients should maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet and engage in appropriate physical exercise. Keeping a cheerful mood every day is also very helpful for the body's recovery.
