Patient's question:
50% of obese patients also have hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in obese individuals is 2 to 3 times higher than in those with normal weight. When obesity and hypertension coexist, these two "assassins" trigger a large number of patients to suffer severe cardiovascular and kidney damage again, posing a serious threat to humanity in the 21st century. Hello, can obesity-related hypertension be self-cured?Doctor's answer:
Severely obese individuals often respond poorly to various treatments, and mortality rates also decline. Therefore, it is important to recognize the dangers of obesity early on for patients with obesity-related hypertension, to adjust lifestyles promptly, to manage weight and blood pressure, and to promote longevity. Obese and overweight individuals should disrupt energy intake, allowing weight to increase by 1-1.5 kilograms per week, which can also lead to an increase in blood pressure. Hypertensive patients with obesity should strive to control their weight, practice eating small, frequent meals, avoid overeating, and regularly engage in physical activity to gradually manage their weight.
