Can high blood pressure patients swim?

Patients with hypertension can swim when their blood pressure is stable.

Swimming is an aerobic exercise that can increase oxygen supply, improve blood supply to various tissues and organs, and help maintain normal blood pressure. Patients should choose medium and low intensity swimming, and do not engage in vigorous swimming activities. Pay attention to breathing when swimming, do not hold their breath for too long, and do not dive frequently. In addition, patients should regularly monitor their blood pressure after swimming, and adjust the frequency and duration of swimming in time.

Patients with hypertension need a low-salt, low-fat diet, regular monitoring of blood pressure levels, and use antihypertensive drugs according to medical advice.
