Exercise methods and their precautions for patients with hypertension

Therapeutic lifestyle interventions are the basis of hypertension treatment, of which exercise is the most important component. Patients with hypertension should exercise regularly, and it is generally recommended that moderate-intensity exercise of at least 3-5 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time is effective, with options such as jogging, playing Tai Chi, and playing ball games. At the same time, patients with hypertension should measure their blood pressure before exercising, if the blood pressure is higher than 160/100mmHg, it is recommended to stabilize the blood pressure before gradually carrying out outdoor exercise. Patients with hypertension should rest and have their blood pressure measured nearby if they suddenly experience dizziness or headaches during exercise. At the same time, patients with hypertension should pay attention to monitoring their heart rate during exercise. Generally, the heart rate during exercise should not exceed (170-age) to prevent an increase in heart load.
