Patient's question:
I usually don't have high blood pressure, but recently I've had a severe cold, and my blood pressure has also been a bit high. I'm very worried. I want to understand what to do if a cold leads to high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Because of the hypotension caused by a cold, as long as the cold is treated, the blood pressure will naturally return to normal. For patients with hypertension, in addition to medication to control blood pressure, attention should also be paid to diet and other aspects: meals should be scheduled in small, frequent servings to prevent overeating, and low-calorie foods must be consumed. Fish is a preferred choice for all types of hypertension patients. Participate in appropriate physical exercise to enhance the body's immunity.
