Hello doctor. My father has erratic blood pressure, sometimes very high and very low again. Dad is also taking medicine, but I really want to buy some tonic or ginseng drink for him. I would like to ask the doctor if my father has this condition, can he drink fresh ginseng juice or take any other tonics? I thank you doctor.

Hello Minh Anh
Nice to know you took care of your dad. According to doctors, when having erratic blood pressure, it is necessary to determine the cause to treat the blood pressure to stabilize the normal level, which will help the body stay healthy. If the blood pressure is like that, taking ginseng can be harmful to the body. So you should take your father to see a cardiologist so that the doctor can help find the cause, determine the blood pressure level and treat it properly.
I can take my father to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for a check-up and to be consulted by a specialist doctor. Thank you for sending questions, sharing worries with Vinmec. Best regards!
