Patient's question:
My mother was diagnosed with high blood pressure last week. How should her high blood pressure be treated? How should she pay attention?Doctor's answer:
For patients with high blood pressure, it is essential to engage in regular physical activity and persevere in exercising, such as running, cycling, skating, etc. If the body is obese, weight control is necessary. A low-sodium, low-fat diet should be maintained, reducing salt intake, and consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits. Additionally, it is important to persist in taking antihypertensive medications, either alone or in combination, using oral long-acting formulations to keep blood pressure within the normal range. Regular visits to the cardiology clinic are also required.
