Patient's question:
These past few days, while doing household chores at home, I suddenly felt dizzy and had poor appetite. This situation has been recurring frequently. My family took me to the hospital for a thorough check-up. My blood pressure was 100/120. Is this considered high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Normal blood pressure in the human body: Systolic pressure is 90-140, diastolic pressure is 60-90. Your diastolic pressure (also known as high pressure) is 120, which is normal. However, your systolic pressure (also known as the ventilator) is 100, which is slightly high. It is recommended that you first adjust your diet and see if it improves. Avoid excessive salty and pickled foods in daily life to reduce salt intake, not exceeding 5g per day. Avoid or limit greasy, high-fat foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Strictly prohibit smoking and drinking alcohol. Persist in exercise, regularly check your blood pressure, and if it remains high, you may need to take blood pressure medication. Wishing you good health!
