Patient's question:
I have been suffering from hypertension for several years and have been taking medication to control my blood pressure. Recently, my deep sleep quality has not been very good, so I wanted to ask the doctor if it is okay for people with hypertension to take sleeping pills?Doctor's answer:
This is mainly caused by tension, stress, or psychological factors, leading to poor sleep quality. It is best to adopt natural therapies rather than taking medication indiscriminately. Medication can disrupt the natural process of deep sleep. You can use relaxation training or hypnosis CDs to enhance exercise and physical training, relax the body and mind, which can stabilize neurosis and improve deep sleep quality. Hypertensive patients can also take sleeping pills appropriately to help with sleep, avoiding excessive dosage that may affect blood pressure and mental state.
