Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 21 years old this year. Hello, do I need to take medication for stage 3 hypertension, or can it be stabilized through diet and exercise? I hope you can clarify this for me. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Generally, high blood pressure is related to a high-salt diet and heredity. It requires timely treatment. If symptoms haven't been caused by high blood pressure, medication can be avoided first. Instead, stabilize dietary and lifestyle habits to make adjustments. Pay attention to a light diet, low in salt and fat. Avoid smoking, drinking beer, overeating, and consuming high-salt foods. Engage in appropriate exercise, control your weight, and regularly check your blood pressure. Do more aerobic exercise and strengthen your fitness.
