Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend's blood pressure is now 160. Hello, is it serious for a 30-year-old with a blood pressure of 160?Doctor's answer:
Your friend's blood pressure is 160 mmHg, while the normal upper limit for systolic pressure should not exceed 140. Your friend is only 30 years old, and under normal circumstances, they should not have hypertension. It may be related to their unhealthy lifestyle, such as long-term beer consumption, frequent staying up late, and excessive salt intake. High blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is recommended to visit the cardiology department of the hospital for follow-up. Antihypertensive medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Maintain a light diet, avoid smoking and drinking beer, and keep a regular schedule.
