Patient's question:
Morning, when I went to bed, I suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand up. I quickly used a blood pressure monitor to check it. I'd like to ask you, is a blood pressure of 120/90 considered high blood pressure? What is the normal range for blood pressure in the body? I really hope a doctor can clarify this for me.Doctor's answer:
Based on your current condition, a diastolic blood pressure of 90 indicates hypertension. If there is a persistent recurrence of blood pressure elevation, this situation is more prone to posterior circulation recurrent cerebral edema, leading to dizziness and vertigo. In this case, oral antihypertensive medication is not necessary. During daily life, it is important to pay attention to avoiding excessive exertion and increasing the intake of greasy foods. If there is a significant increase in blood pressure, it is necessary to take oral antihypertensive medication promptly.
