Cardiologist Philip Kopylov spoke about the two main mistakes made by hypertensive patients.
The doctor spoke in an interview that the treatment of hypertension should not be allowed untested “folk methods” in the form of drinking mint tea, hot foot baths or vinegar compresses.
“You should only apply for proven methods of treating arterial hypertension. Today they consist in taking selected therapy and controlling blood pressure, ”stated cardiologist Kopylov.
In an interview with the Pravda.Ru portal, the physician said that self-medication and unwillingness to see a doctor with high blood pressure is one of the key mistakes of hypertensive patients. Kopylov stressed that a treatment plan for existing hypertension should be drawn up and adjusted exclusively by a doctor, and self-medication is “absolutely unacceptable.”
