Upper pressure generally refers to systolic pressure and lower pressure generally refers to diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure of 150mmHg and diastolic pressure of 95mmHg suggests that there is a possibility of high blood pressure, which is dangerous if not actively treated, and requires a timely visit to the hospital.
According to the classification and definition of blood pressure levels in the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension, hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg, of which grade 1 hypertension (mild) systolic blood pressure is 140-159mmHg, and/or diastolic blood pressure of 90-99mmHg. when the systolic blood pressure is 150mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure of 95mmHg, then it is suggested to be in grade 1 Hypertension.
However, the diagnosis of hypertension requires ≥3 non-same-day resting blood pressures ≥140/90 mmHg to diagnose hypertension; therefore, a single test of high blood pressure is not sufficient to diagnose hypertension, and multiple tests of blood pressure higher than normal are required to confirm the diagnosis.
Grade 1 hypertensive states often require timely control to avoid ignoring the continued increase in blood pressure that exacerbates cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk. Lifestyle interventions can be taken at this time: reduce sodium intake, eat a rational and balanced diet, control body weight, stop smoking and drinking, increase exercise according to individual circumstances, reduce mental stress, and maintain psychological balance.
If lifestyle intervention is ineffective, drug therapy is also needed, such as prioritizing the use of long-acting antihypertensive drugs to effectively control 24-hour blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications more effectively.
Patients with elevated blood pressure are advised to go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment according to medical advice.
