The whole person feels lethargic and easily fatigued. Frequently feel irritable, with weakness in both hands and feet. Previously, appetite was good, but recently unable to eat, blood pressure keeps fluctuating, causing my relatives great concern. What daily methods can be used to treat high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Good dietary habits, advocating a low-fat and light diet, prevent excessive intake of exogenous fat; advocate a low-sodium diet to reduce the tension and pressure on the cardiovascular system and further chemical changes; control alcohol consumption, as long-term heavy drinking is a significant risk factor for hypertension, often requiring lifelong medication for the disease.Adequate physical activity is essential. Patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease, and angina patients should engage in exercise within their capabilities. Appropriate physical labor and exercise can lead to peripheral vasodilation and blood pressure reduction. However, competitive sports should be avoided, and one should exercise according to their physical condition. Activities such as Qigong, Tai Chi, and walking are recommended.
