Patient's question:
Doctor, I haven't been feeling well recently. I've been experiencing frequent dizziness and headaches, and I'm suspicious that I might be experiencing high blood pressure again. I'd like to ask, at what level of high blood pressure is medication usually necessary?Doctor's answer:
The health hazards of high blood pressure to the patient's body are significant. Patients must actively implement treatment. Generally, if the systolic pressure is below 140 and the diastolic pressure is below 90, it can be diagnosed as high blood pressure. For primary hypertension, lifelong medication control of blood pressure is usually required. In terms of diet, patients should try to maintain a light diet, avoid greasy foods, and also avoid overly spicy foods.
