Patient's question:
I am 42 years old, and my blood pressure is 148-90. Is it considered high blood pressure? Because I have never had any symptoms of high blood pressure before, but now it's up to 148, and I feel like my blood pressure is a bit high. Recently, when I stand up, I occasionally feel dizzy, as if I can't see things for a moment, and sometimes my head also feels dull and painful.Doctor's answer:
Now your blood pressure is slightly high, with stage three hypertension. This condition may occasionally cause you to feel dizzy, which is due to the hypertension. Stage three hypertension is generally not recommended for medication treatment. You need to control your lifestyle habits. First, you should have a habit of regular exercise, which can help lower your blood pressure. You should also control your diet with low salt and low fat. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less fatty meat.
