Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital, and during the thorough examination, I felt a bit nervous. When the doctor measured my blood pressure, he said I have high blood pressure. So, I'd like to ask a few questions: does nervousness cause high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that patients monitor their blood pressure data irregularly, preferably early in the morning. Medication must be taken consistently, but primarily, it is important to maintain a happy mood and not worry too much. It is suggested to perform more blood pressure measurements under resting conditions. If the average blood pressure is lower than normal, it can be diagnosed as hypertension, and attention should be paid to diet. It is possible to maintain a good physical and mental state, relax, take antihypertensive medication, or have a bowel movement, while paying attention to maintaining regular exercise.
