Patient's question:
My mother has been experiencing dizziness and nausea these past few days. Later, we had a blood pressure monitor at home, so we measured her blood pressure, which was 157. Now, I would like to ask the experts if a blood pressure reading of 157 is considered high blood pressure and how it should be treated. My mother is generally in good health, and all her other health indicators are normal.Doctor's answer:
If it appears again that the systolic blood pressure is 157, it is highly likely to be directly related to the issue of hypertension. It is recommended that you consider taking some measurements to check your blood pressure. In necessary cases, you may consider going to the hospital for a brain MRI to further clarify the situation. It is important to pay attention to enhancing rest and controlling underlying conditions, such as hypertension, in daily life.
