Why does high blood pressure lead to increased phlegm?

Patient's question:

I have high blood pressure. What about phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

It is bronchitis or lung inflammation, usually associated with increased resistance and bacterial infection, which may lead to coughing and phlegm, as well as throat phlegm. Especially for those who have experienced a fire, the symptoms may be more pronounced at night. This requires drinking more water, maintaining a light diet, and avoiding many irritating foods as much as possible. Appropriate consumption of compound licorice tablets, Fritillaria ternata syrup, etc., can help clear the lungs and cool the blood.
