Patient's question:
I am almost 50 years old this year. Because I love eating meat and sweet food, I don't like eating vegetables, and I am a bit overweight. Recently, it seems that high blood pressure has reappeared. Is it caused by these reasons? I would like to consult about this question.Doctor's answer:
Modern life is stressful, and people who are chronically tense and impatient are prone to developing high blood pressure. Long-term exposure to negative influences such as mental tension, emotional excitement, excessive anxiety, and noise can also lead to high blood pressure. Additionally, an imbalance in the body's physiological regulation and dysfunction in the higher nervous system and endocrine of the cerebral cortex can easily cause high blood pressure to recur.Although thin people do not have a larger blood volume compared to overweight individuals, they can still develop high blood pressure due to other factors. Thin people should not neglect monitoring their blood pressure either.
