Patient's question:
In the morning, when I went to my mom's house, she was just measuring her blood pressure, so I asked her to measure mine too. The blood pressure monitor showed my systolic pressure was 135 mmHg and diastolic pressure was 80 mmHg. Is this considered high blood pressure? What is the normal range for blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The blood pressure value is still within the normal range and does not indicate a recurrence of hypertension. However, this blood pressure value is at the upper limit of normal. After experiencing such blood pressure, it is necessary to promptly adjust diet and activity according to the situation. Through these adjustments, the blood pressure can be thoroughly restored, reducing the likelihood of a recurrence of hypertension. The main measures include a low-fat, low-sodium diet and appropriate aerobic exercise.
