Dr. He Haochen
High diastolic blood pressure, commonly seen in middle-aged and young men, is associated with factors such as obesity, mental stress, and high work pressure. Effective treatment requires a comprehensive approach considering multiple factors. The first step in managing high diastolic pressure is lifestyle modification, including a low-salt, low-fat diet, moderate physical activity, smoking cessation, limited alcohol consumption, and maintaining psychological balance. When lifestyle changes alone fail to adequately control blood pressure, medication may be considered, such as calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers. These drugs effectively lower diastolic pressure without excessively reducing systolic pressure. Additionally, regular blood pressure monitoring and strict adherence to prescribed medications are crucial for ensuring treatment effectiveness. By integrating these measures, high diastolic blood pressure can be effectively controlled, thereby promoting cardiovascular health.
