Panax notoginseng powder is now very popular, and many middle-aged and elderly people are taking it. Yesterday, a patient asked me and saw that Panax notoginseng powder has antihypertensive ingredients on the Internet, and his blood pressure is a little bit high. In his case, if you eat some Panax notoginseng powder now, can you lower your blood pressure?
In fact, the pathogenesis of hypertension is very complex, and there are many factors that cause blood pressure to rise. Panax notoginseng powder mainly promotes blood circulation and stops bleeding, removes blood stasis and relieves pain. It cannot lower blood pressure for our blood pressure. Even if there is, it is just an auxiliary function. It does not mean that eating Panax notoginseng powder can control our blood pressure well. Therefore, everyone must not have such hope.
The most important means to control hypertension now depends on five major categories of classic antihypertensive drugs, plus lifestyle improvements, such as sartan, horizon, priligy, diuretics and beta blockers. So how to use these antihypertensive drugs reasonably?
This requires selecting appropriate drugs based on the level of blood pressure, the age of the patient, and whether there are hypertension complications, etc., under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to taking medicine, we also need to develop a healthy lifestyle, such as paying attention to rest, exercise moderately, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, low salt, low-fat diet , which is a truly reliable way to reduce blood pressure.
Everyone should pay attention. If you have high blood pressure, you must take medicine. Never believe those unreliable statements. If the blood pressure is caused by danger, it will be too late to regret it.
