Some specific issues of concern to patients with high blood pressure

1 My blood pressure is 160/90. Do I have high blood pressure?


Blood pressure 160/90 is a relatively serious hypertensive disease when your high pressure reaches 140mmHg level or more or low pressure reaches 90mmHg and above is a hypertensive disease, high pressure in reaching 140mmHg, but not reach 160mmHg, low pressure reaches 90mmHg, but not reach 100mmHg, belong to hypertension grade 1. High pressure reaching 160mmHg and not reaching 180mmHg, or low pressure reaching 100mmHg and not reaching 110mmHg, belongs to hypertension grade 2. High pressure of 180mmHg and above, or low pressure of 110mmHg and above, is classified as hypertension grade 3.
At present, your blood pressure has reached hypertension grade 2, and damage to target organs such as the heart, brain, kidney, and eye may occur at any time, so your blood pressure already belongs to the more serious hypertensive disease, and you should actively control your blood pressure to reduce the chance of its complications.

2 My blood pressure is 158 / 79, is it normal?


The blood pressure reference value for normal people, systolic blood pressure 90-139mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure 60-89mmHg is normal, but the diagnosis of hypertension cannot be concluded based on one blood pressure alone. It is necessary to monitor the blood pressure several times for many consecutive days which are higher than the normal reference value and to exclude the influence of emotional tension, psychological factors, activities, and other factors on blood pressure before hypertension can be considered. If there is no family history of hypertension, it is unlikely to consider hypertension. It is recommended that you master the correct method of blood pressure measurement and take blood pressure measurement after sufficient rest before taking blood pressure measurement, preferably the blood pressure measured in the morning when there is no activity.

But it is important to exclude other factors that affect blood pressure, such as poor sleep, and having other diseases that cause changes in blood pressure. Such as poor sleep, high blood lipids, high work stress, mental tension, etc. If there is the latter case, it should be ruled out first. You can go to check the blood lipids, blood sugar, etc. Exercise properly, live a regular life, eat less oil and salt, do not smoke, and eat more vegetables and fruits. At present your blood pressure is just on the line of hypertension, not very high, so you don't need to take medicine first, life adjustment 1-2 months later.

When the pulse pressure difference is detected greater than 60 or less than 20 are abnormal conditions.Your high pressure is normal and your low pressure is slightly low. In addition, the pulse pressure difference is slightly high. Surrounding environment as well as personal emotions have a great influence on blood pressure. So it is recommended to measure blood pressure several times. Also keep an optimistic state of mind every day, pay attention to rest and do not stay up late.
