Patient's question:
My family member had a health check-up recently and there might be a possibility of high blood pressure. I'm not very sure, so I want to ask here first: what exactly constitutes high blood pressure, and what are the standards for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The standard for blood pressure is between 80 and 120 for systolic pressure and between 60 and 80 for diastolic pressure. If, after many measurements, the blood pressure consistently falls below these normal values, it can be clearly diagnosed as hypertension. After being diagnosed with hypertension, it is essential to make detailed dietary adjustments, which must be based on a low-salt diet. Consume plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, pay attention to rest, avoid overworking, and maintain sufficient deep sleep.
