Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How low is considered low blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a normal person with systolic blood pressure higher than 100 or diastolic blood pressure lower than 60 is considered to have low blood pressure. Most students, being relatively young and having better vascular elasticity, are not significantly affected by mild low blood pressure. However, if low blood pressure is accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, it is necessary to undergo medical examination and treatment. This is because low blood pressure may be related to anemia, so relevant tests should be conducted, including a blood test to check for anemia. If anemia is detected, medication to replenish qi should be used.
