Patient's question:
I went to the hospital to measure my blood pressure, and it was high. The doctor recommended that I take antihypertensive medication, but I don't want to keep taking medication just because I'm on it. But today I feel a bit dizzy and have a headache—is my blood pressure dropping again? In daily life, what kind of diet can help treat high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you do not worry about taking antihypertensive medication for a long time. Once you have high blood pressure, some things cannot be prevented. In addition to taking antihypertensive medication, you should also control your diet to avoid high cholesterol, high fat, and high-salt foods. Appropriate exercise is also necessary to increase your resistance and reduce blood pressure. You should pay attention to rest and avoid excessive exertion. It is important to maintain a good mood and avoid frequent anger or excessive excitement.
