Patient's question:
A while ago, my relative's mother kept feeling dizzy and would faint when standing up. She often got short of breath and in pain when walking too fast. The other day, she went to a pharmacy to buy groceries and nearly fainted on her way back. My relatives immediately took her to a nearby hospital. The doctor told my relatives that my relative's mother might have high blood pressure and asked them to come to the hospital early the next morning on an empty stomach for a thorough check-up. My relatives were very nervous.Hello, if you have high blood pressure, what values are considered normal?
Doctor's answer:
The blood pressure of a normal person is generally between 90 and 140 for systolic pressure, and between 60 and 90 mmHg for diastolic pressure. In other words, if the systolic pressure is greater than or equal to 140 mmHg, or the diastolic pressure is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg, it can be diagnosed as hypertension, which usually requires lifelong medication. Pay attention to rest, avoid overtime work, relax your mind, maintain a positive attitude, and maintain a regular lifestyle. It is recommended to follow a low-salt, low-fat diet. You may not need to take antihypertensive medication at first.
