    Patients with hypertension are not suitable for eating flax seeds. According to some modern medical experiments, the alkaloids contained in the root bark and stems of flax seeds can easily stimulate the heart. In addition, the difference in stem extract concentration will also increase or decrease blood pressure, so patients with hypertension should not eat flax seeds as often as possible to avoid adverse reactions.
