Patient's question:
My grandmother's blood pressure has been unstable recently, but I don't know what the normal range is. Should the blood pressure of the elderly be the same as that of adults? I want to know what the normal blood pressure of adults is so that I can help my grandmother measure her blood pressure. So, I would like to consult about what the blood pressure of high blood pressure is? What is the normal value?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a common chronic disease. Long-term hypertension can affect important organs in the human body, primarily the heart, brain, and kidneys, causing inflammation simultaneously. In normal individuals, systolic blood pressure ranges from 90 to 120 millimeters of mercury, and diastolic blood pressure ranges from 60 to 90 millimeters of mercury. If systolic blood pressure reaches 140 millimeters of mercury and diastolic blood pressure reaches 90 millimeters of mercury, it can be diagnosed as hypertension. Hypertension requires oral antihypertensive medication treatment.
