Patient's question:
The other day, my uncle went to measure his blood pressure and found it to be as high as 200. I want to ask what should be done if blood pressure reaches 200?Doctor's answer:
Your uncle recently had a thorough check-up on his blood pressure and found that his systolic pressure reached as high as 200 mmHg, which is above the normal limit of 140 mmHg. This indicates stage three hypertension, which carries a higher risk and could lead to cerebral hemorrhage. It is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible. You can visit the cardiology department of a hospital for follow-up. Under the guidance of a doctor, use stable antihypertensive medication to gradually lower the blood pressure to the normal range. It is necessary to take the medication consistently and avoid drinking beer. Maintain a light diet.
