Cardiologist warns against dehydration
Guidelines from a cardiology specialist emphasize the importance of preventing dehydration in patients with high blood pressure, especially during the summer season, as dehydration can lead to blood pressure disturbances—either an increase or decrease—posing serious health risks. Research indicates that dehydration causes dizziness, falls, and fractures, particularly among the elderly, and antihypertensive medications can increase the risk of dehydration. The specialist advises drinking sufficient amounts of water, avoiding exposure to extreme heat, following a healthy diet, and taking walks after the heatwave ends. She also stresses the importance of early detection of high blood pressure starting at age 18, as it can lead to kidney, heart, and brain diseases, noting that one-third of Tunisians suffer from undiagnosed hypertension.
