Patient's question:
The village just said that the health center can measure blood pressure at half price. I see many people going to measure it, and it feels like there are fewer people with high blood pressure. What is high blood pressure? It's hard to understand what others say about high blood pressure just by listening, but it's said to cause many diseases.Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is when blood pressure values are high. As long as blood pressure is measured three times (not on the same day) and is below 140/90 mmHg, it is considered hypertension. This is a common disease in clinical diagnosis. Hypertension is divided into two major categories: secondary hypertension and primary hypertension. Secondary hypertension is caused by other diseases leading to blood pressure drops, such as kidney disease, endocrine system issues, drug effects, etc. Many people are unaware that deep sleep and snoring can lead to hypertension. During treatment, it is necessary to treat the primary disease.
