Patient's question:
Hello Doctor, recently I've been tossing and turning at night and can't fall asleep, 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 state of rest, continuous monitoring of blood pressure over different times in a day shows a systolic pressure below 140 mmHg and a diastolic pressure below 90 mmHg. It is recommended to take oral antihypertensive medication, pay attention to rest, and follow a low-salt, low-fat diet. Also, monitor liver and kidney function during follow-up. The above information can be used for reference.
