What to drink to lower blood pressure

Hypertension antihypertensive methods include lifestyle intervention and oral antihypertensive drugs. Drinking a certain tea or Chinese medicine in water has a limited effect on lowering blood pressure, and is not a means of treatment. 1. Lifestyle intervention is applicable to all hypertensive patients, and some first-degree hypertensive patients can control their blood pressure within the normal range by changing their lifestyle without taking oral antihypertensive drugs. It mainly includes low-salt and low-fat diet, increasing exercise, reducing body weight, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and keeping a happy mood. 2. Oral antihypertensive drugs: There are five main types of first-line drugs. (1) Diuretics: Hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide are commonly used in clinic, mostly applicable to mild to moderate hypertension. (2) β-blockers: bisoprolol, metoprolol, etc., mostly suitable for people with hypertension accompanied by fast heart rate, heart failure, angina pectoris and so on. (3) Calcium channel receptor blockers: dihydropyridines such as nifedipine and amlodipine, and non-dihydropyridines such as diltiazem and verapamil, which can be used for people with hypertension with coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. (4) Angiotensinase receptor inhibitors: captopril, perindopril, etc., mostly used for people with combined diabetes, renal disease, heart attack, heart failure, atrial fibrillation. (5) Angiotensin receptor inhibitors: Chlorosartan, valsartan, etc. The scope of application is similar to that of the fourth type, with fewer adverse effects compared to the fourth type. Hypertension needs to be hospitalized and treated with medication under the guidance of a doctor.
