Therefore, we should give them the necessary explanation and comfort, help them build up the confidence to overcome the disease, and avoid their emotional excitement, excessive tension and anxiety.

Second, we should also let the elderly take part in more physical exercise, so as to enhance their physique. We should also go out for a walk with them every day or play their favorite music to them. At the same time, they should also maintain a certain amount of potassium, calcium intake and low sodium diet, and give them more potassium rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits.

Third: at present, drug treatment is the main treatment of hypertension in the elderly. So we should let them insist on long-term oral medication, but also should gradually reduce blood pressure, and not too eager to cure their own disease, and excessive medication, which will endanger their lives. At the same time, if patients have any side effects, they should timely report to the doctor and adjust the medication.
