Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband just turned 40 this year, but his health condition has been very poor recently. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was found to have high blood pressure. I would like to ask, can high blood pressure at the age of 40 still be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a very common chronic disease, primarily characterized by the persistent elevation of arterial blood pressure. It poses significant harm to a patient's health and is difficult to self-heal. Generally, patients with hypertension need to take medication on schedule under the guidance of a doctor and monitor blood pressure data regularly. In terms of diet, it is advisable not to consume excessively greasy or salty foods, but instead, to eat more light and nutritious meals, including plenty of vegetables and fruits.
