Patient's question:
What time is the most accurate for measuring blood pressure? How high is considered high blood pressure? I have had it for two years, experiencing dizzy headaches. I have taken medication, and my parents have high blood pressure. How should I control the timing of blood pressure measurement and which medication is better? How should high blood pressure be adjusted, and what many things should I pay attention to on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure regularly, you should pay attention to actively measuring your blood pressure. It is generally recommended to measure your blood pressure as much as possible between 8:00 and 10:00 in the morning and 4:00 and 6:00 in the afternoon, which may be much more accurate. Before measuring your blood pressure, make sure to rest for more than five minutes. At the same time, pay attention to measuring both arms' blood pressure and monitor the data. According to the higher blood pressure reading, adjust the antihypertensive medication and implement treatment accordingly.
