Patients with hypertension need to actively lower their blood pressure. The occurrence of hypertension is related to age, heredity and many other factors, and should follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment. Drinking more water appropriately can make the blood viscosity decrease, which is favorable to hypertensive patients, but not able to lower blood pressure. If a large amount of water within a short period of time will lead to a rapid increase in blood volume, on the contrary, make the blood pressure rise. Therefore, drinking more water cannot lower blood pressure.
Hypertensive patients can lower their blood pressure by adjusting their lifestyles, such as quitting smoking and drinking, exercising appropriately, controlling body weight, reducing sodium and fat intake, and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also apply diuretics (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, etc.), calcium channel blockers (e.g. nifedipine, etc.) and other drugs to lower blood pressure under the guidance of a doctor.
Drinking more water is not able to lower blood pressure, hypertension patients should consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized blood pressure lowering treatment, so as not to delay the condition, resulting in adverse consequences.
