Can hypertensive patients sweat in a steam room?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am just 45 years old this year, but my physical condition is not good. Recently, I often experience headaches and dizziness. Later, after a careful examination, I found that I have high blood pressure. I usually enjoy sweating in a steam room. I would like to ask, can people with high blood pressure undergo steam room sessions?

Doctor's answer:

High blood pressure is a very common disease in daily life, and it is also a very dangerous disease. If long-term blood pressure cannot be effectively controlled, it can cause serious harm to the heart, brain, and kidneys. Patients with high blood pressure should avoid steam baths as much as possible. If they really want to go, they need to consider their specific physical condition, think about how stable their blood pressure is, and implement short-term steam baths under the guidance of family or friends. Do not steam for too long.
