First of all, it should be emphasized here that it should be possible for hypertensive patients to soak their feet with hot water, but the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees. Soaking feet with hot water can promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue and improve mental stress, which are beneficial to blood pressure control. Therefore, from the perspective of hypertension management, it can play an auxiliary role in lowering blood pressure. If the blood pressure control is stable, soaking feet is also good for daily health care. It should be noted that many elderly people, especially older people, are prone to postural hypotension. If you soak your feet for too long and the water temperature is too high, your blood pressure will drop when you stand up after soaking your feet, which will have the double influence of posture change. Blood pressure will drop significantly, and blackheads or dizziness are prone to occur, which may lead to fainting in severe cases. Pay attention.

In addition, don't stand up immediately after soaking, but stand for a while, usually one minute later, which can reduce the performance of insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by blood pressure changes.
