Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have recently been feeling dizzy for no reason. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that I have low blood pressure. I would like to ask what kind of food is good for low blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
You can moderately eat more salty foods. If you absorb more salt, it can increase blood pressure and improve symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and weakness. However, the intake of salt should not be too high. It is essential to drink more water regularly, as a larger amount of water entering the blood can increase blood volume. Eat more easily digestible protein foods, such as chicken, eggs, fish, cheese, and milk. You can also eat some lotus seeds, longans, jujubes, mulberries, and red beans. It is recommended to consume more ginger regularly, as ginger can enhance absorption, improve digestion, and raise blood pressure, playing a beneficial role in regulating blood pressure. In addition, people with low blood pressure are prone to fainting and shock. This is common in chronic wasting diseases, malnutrition, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal inflammation, ulcers, and is more prevalent in young women.
