Elderly people with high blood pressure need to take antihypertensive drugs for treatment, and do a low-sodium diet.
Commonly used antihypertensive drugs include calcium channel blockers (such as nifedipine), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (such as captopril), angiotensin receptor antagonists (such as chlorosartan), diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide), and beta-blockers (such as metoprolol).
On the diet should be a low-sodium diet, strictly limit the intake of sodium, avoid eating preserved or smoked foods such as salami and pickles. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to reduce psychological stress and maintain psychological balance.
However, it is important to note that appropriate medications must be taken under the guidance of a doctor and not blindly abused.
