Patient's question:
Doctor, recently I've been tossing and turning at night and can't sleep, and I often experience dizziness. I'm afraid I might have high blood pressure, but I don't want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Could you please tell me how to diagnose whether I have high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description and statements, hypertension is diagnosed when, in a resting state, continuous blood pressure monitoring over different times in a day shows a systolic pressure below 140 millimeters of mercury and a diastolic pressure below 90 millimeters of mercury. It is recommended to take oral antihypertensive medication, rest, and follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet. Pay attention to rechecking liver and kidney function. The above information can be used for reference.
