High pressure refers to systolic pressure and low pressure refers to diastolic pressure. A systolic blood pressure of 120mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure of 100mmHg suggests that a diastolic blood pressure higher than the normal range is not normal.
Normal adults in a quiet state, the blood pressure range is more stable, systolic blood pressure range of 90 ~ 139mmHg, diastolic blood pressure range of 60 ~ 89mmHg. systolic blood pressure of 120mmHg diastolic blood pressure of 100mmHg, suggesting that the systolic blood pressure is normal, while the diastolic blood pressure is high, non-same day three measurements of diastolic blood pressure is elevated, can be diagnosed as a special simple diastolic hypertension.
High simple diastolic hypertension refers to a sustained diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg without the use of antihypertensive medications, and may be associated with factors such as a high-sodium diet, obesity, and stress.
Active intervention is usually needed, and appropriate antihypertensive drugs can be chosen as prescribed by the doctor, including diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide), beta-blockers (metoprolol), calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, etc.), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (Benadryl, etc.).
Dietary and lifestyle changes, such as low-salt and low-fat diets, active exercise, weight control, reduction of mental stress, and cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption, should also be made under the guidance of a physician.
A systolic blood pressure of 120mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure of 100mmHg is not normal, and it is important to go to the hospital in time for the doctor to formulate an appropriate and effective treatment plan to improve the symptoms.
