Patient's question:
In the morning, Dad kept feeling dizzy. I measured his blood pressure, and it was 160/90. Is 160/90 considered high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation you described, high blood pressure (160 mmHg) and a ventilator (90) indicate hypertension. The normal blood pressure for humans is: systolic pressure between 90 and 140 mmHg, diastolic pressure between 60 and 90 mmHg. Persistent hypertension can easily lead to cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. Your condition requires oral antihypertensive medication, such as nifedipine sustained-release tablets. Pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more celery, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid negative emotions.
