My mother-in-law likes to drink grapefruit juice. Can I still drink grapefruit juice because I just found out that I have high blood pressure?

    The half-life of the two components of grapefruit juice (the time it takes for the drug to disappear half of the body) is up to 12 hours, and its effect on drug metabolizing enzymes can last for 24 hours, even after drinking grapefruit juice a few hours before taking dipine drugs , And interactions will inevitably occur. In order to avoid this interaction, patients with hypertension should not drink grapefruit juice and should use other beverages. If you must drink, at least 12 hours apart from taking diping drugs, or reduce the dosage of diping drugs appropriately under the guidance of a physician. Of course, it is safest for patients with hypertension to switch to other beverages.

    There is a lumbar disc herniation, or cervical spondylosis, which has compressed local nerves, so local pain symptoms and muscle atrophy may occur. This can be seen in the rehabilitation department, through professional sports rehabilitation and acupuncture physiotherapy. Relieve symptoms. If there is no effect, surgery is required. Eat cold foods, drink plenty of water and eat light.
