Mild Hypertension Advice From Dr Steinerohn
A reader with a 164/92 pressure questions whether treatment is necessary. The doctor advises that “mild” hypertension still warrants vigorous management, including weight control and salt restriction, and suggests considering a mild diuretic if diet fails to lower both numbers.
Physician Urges Broad Hypertension Treatment
Dr Steinerohn and UCLA professor Morton Maxwell discuss treating all adults with diastolic 90 or higher as high blood pressure. They cite two large studies showing benefit, while readers ask for lung cancer images and quitting tobacco. Dr Steinerohn offers a general health booklet and invites questions for his column.
