How much high blood pressure needs medication?

Patient's question:

Father went to measure his blood pressure today and found that he had high blood pressure. I am worried that it's too high and difficult to control. How much high blood pressure requires medication?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the ventilation fan should not exceed 90, and high pressure should not exceed 120. If symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and blurred vision occur after exceeding these values, it is necessary to use medication promptly for control. When suffering from high blood pressure, it is generally recommended to take long-acting antihypertensive medication to control blood pressure, as this is less irritating to blood vessels and will not cause blood pressure to fluctuate sharply. It is also necessary to pay attention to a light diet.
