Patient's question:
After getting older, the body's physical condition has again appeared many problems, and there is often a feeling of dizziness and headache. A few days ago, I measured my blood pressure at the hospital, and the doctor said that I have some high blood pressure. How is high blood pressure considered high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
If blood pressure reaches 140/90mmHg, it indicates the recurrence of high blood pressure. High blood pressure is also related to the patient's age. For the elderly, if it can be reduced to 130/85 or 135/85, it is considered good. Additionally, blood pressure measurements can vary with time. Some people have higher blood pressure in the morning, while others have higher readings in the afternoon. Some people have consistently high blood pressure throughout the day.
