Patient's question:
I haven't known what's going on recently, just feeling extremely uncomfortable physically, so I specifically checked my blood pressure a few times. The systolic pressure has been around 170. Is this generally considered normal in such a case?Doctor's answer:
In your current situation, if your blood pressure remains at 170, it is definitely not normal. It is best to take appropriate antihypertensive medication to alleviate it. Regarding high blood pressure, it is generally related to heredity across generations. High blood pressure is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary high blood pressure is usually unexplained, and it is necessary to take more antihypertensive medication later to stabilize it.
