Patient's question:
What is the range of high blood pressure? Is the condition different for different people? How should high blood pressure be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when systolic blood pressure is below 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure is below 90 mmHg, it is considered hypertension. If systolic blood pressure is below 140 mmHg but above 160 mmHg, it is classified as stage 2 hypertension, which is the range for most people. The treatment for this condition primarily involves antihypertensive medications, commonly including calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, and others.
