Answered by Associate Professor, Doctor, Specialist II Chu Hoang Van - Department of Examination, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Does indoor sauna affect people with high blood pressure? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have symptoms of high blood pressure, but you have not provided the doctor with information: Have you been diagnosed with high blood pressure or are you taking antihypertensive medication No, your blood pressure is stable within the normal range, so your doctor can't give you exact advice.
Actually, the right sauna is not contraindicated in patients with high blood pressure being treated and stabilized blood pressure. If these things are as the doctor asked, you can do the sauna, relax, you don't need to worry, you don't stay in it for too long.
If you still have questions about high blood pressure, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
