Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I take medication to control it regularly, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me the classification of hypertension levels? Which level do I belong to?Doctor's answer:
You have recently experienced symptoms of fatigue and dizziness. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed that your blood pressure is 140/100 mmHg, while normal blood pressure should not exceed 140/90. Your blood pressure is high, indicating stage 2 hypertension. It is recommended to take serious treatment. You can return to the hospital's cardiology department for follow-up, where the doctor can prescribe antihypertensive medication. Take the medication on schedule and have regular check-ups. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, avoid drinking beer, and reduce the intake of pickled and greasy foods.
