Health Hints and Diet From Dr Morris Fishbein
Moderately warm baths help relax tissues and may favorably influence blood pressure. Rest in bed is beneficial for serious cases, but many authorities favor moderate exercise over complete rest. For the most severe cases, three to four weeks in bed with relaxation, diet control, and infection removal are advised, akin to sanatorium treatment. Dizziness improves with rest. drugs can help with restlessness, but lowering blood pressure broadly by drugs is limited. Stress and speed of life contribute to high blood pressure, so relaxation, holidays, hobbies, and avoiding overeating are urged.
