A doctor has given advice for high blood pressure

With high blood pressure, it is recommended to stop the action of provoking factors. Alexander Umnov, a lecturer at the Department of Fundamental Medical Disciplines of the Medical Faculty of the State University of Enlightenment, a surgeon, told Izvestia about how to fight high blood pressure.

"At home, you can ventilate the room or put a wet cloth to your head," notes Umnov.

According to him, with high blood pressure, the first thing to do is to eliminate the provoking factor, which can be stress or heat. Then it is recommended to take special drugs to quickly reduce pressure, such as moxonidine or capoten, which quickly dissolve under the tongue. It should be remembered that the dosage of the medication depends on the level of pressure.

In addition, with high blood pressure, it is not recommended to exercise, stay in hot conditions, especially under the scorching sun, as well as cooking, smoking, alcohol and coffee.

"If the pressure is constantly elevated, it is necessary to contact a therapist to select or change medications," - summarized Umnov.

Earlier, on October 28, cardiologist Denis Sokolov told "Izvestia" about products that help lower blood pressure. According to him, fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, oranges, spinach and broccoli, help to remove excess sodium and improve the condition of blood vessels.
