Dr. Li Man
People with low blood pressure can take folic acid, which generally does not affect their health, but it usually has no therapeutic effect on low blood pressure. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take Shengmai Yin, which can effectively improve symptoms. In terms of diet, they should avoid greasy and irritating foods, excessive熬夜 (staying up late), and should quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
