Patient's question:
Doctor, my relative, an aunt, is now 64 years old. Today, her family members are not at home, so I helped her measure her blood pressure and found her systolic pressure to be 130 and diastolic pressure to be 90. I would like to ask, is a systolic pressure of 130 and diastolic pressure of 90 considered high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if the blood pressure reading is 130/90mmHg, this situation does not qualify as hypertension, but it falls into the category of borderline hypertension. This condition requires timely attention to improving lifestyle, and prevention of blood pressure elevation through lifestyle adjustments. During daily life, pay attention to moderate physical exercise, and it is particularly important to regularly monitor blood pressure.
