If a person takes medicine but eats a very high-salt diet, why can blood-pressure control be difficult?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: High sodium can affect blood-pressure control
Medication and lifestyle measures work together; prescribed medicine does not make a high-sodium diet harmless. Excess sodium can promote fluid retention and increase pressure in susceptible individuals, making control more difficult. The person should follow medical advice, reduce added salt and high-sodium foods, monitor blood pressure, and never change medication without professional guidance.
