Cardiologist urges hydration for hypertensives
Guidelines for cardiologists emphasizing the importance of raising awareness among patients with hypertension about the risks of dehydration, especially during heatwaves. Dehydration can cause blood pressure to drop or rise, leading to health complications such as dizziness and fractures. It is crucial to encourage patients to drink sufficient amounts of water, avoid direct sunlight, and be particularly cautious if they are taking antihypertensive medications that may accelerate dehydration. Additionally, a balanced diet and walking exercise should be maintained after the heatwave subsides. The guidelines also underscore the importance of early diagnosis of hypertension starting from age 18 and highlight its impact on the kidneys and brain, noting that approximately two-thirds of Tunisians live with the condition unknowingly.
