Patient's question:
Doctor, I am just 52 years old this year, and recently I often feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Later, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and found that I have high blood pressure. My friend told me that taking (Guzhinecao) can treat high blood pressure. I would like to ask, how should I take to treat high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a very dangerous disease. If blood pressure is not well controlled, it can cause severe damage to the heart, brain, and kidneys. Patients need to take appropriate antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Bidens pilosa cannot treat hypertension and cannot replace antihypertensive medications. Patients should maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet at all times, avoid overeating or undereating at meals, not smoke, not drink alcohol, not overwork, and engage in appropriate activities to exercise regularly.
