Can people with hypertension eat eggs?

Patient's question:

My mother hasn't been feeling particularly well since the beginning of autumn this year. After a health check-up at the hospital, it was said that her blood pressure is a bit high. The doctor prescribed many medications to control it. I want to ask if people with high blood pressure can eat eggs?

Doctor's answer:

High blood pressure can consume eggs, but the amount should not be too much. However, because eggs contain cholesterol, if it leads to excessively high cholesterol levels in the blood, it may trigger the recurrence of heart and cerebrovascular diseases. It is recommended to eat one egg a day. Hypertensive patients need to take medication long-term to control blood pressure, and at the same time, increase the intake of salt and fatty meats in daily life.
