Patient's question:
I've noticed high blood pressure for a year, it's been around 180/90. I'd like to consult about whether a blood pressure of 188/90 falls into the category of stage 1 hypertension?Doctor's answer:

After developing hypertension, it is still important to pay attention and control blood pressure well to reduce the recurrence of some symptoms. If complications recur, there may be some risks. In addition to taking antihypertensive medication on time, the diet should also include more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of greasy foods, especially fatty meat.
