The incidence of high blood pressure is getting higher and higher, the current statistics show that there is not 4 adults in China have a high blood pressure patients, that such a high incidence, how many of us to really pay attention to their own blood pressure that? In fact, you can look at the people around you, older men and women chatting will say, “I have high blood pressure, in so-and-so clinic blood pressure measurement of high pressure 180, but my low pressure is normal”, “My blood pressure last clinic measurement of 160/80, at home on the normal, I also did not take it seriously! “, “I found that high blood pressure for several years, an angry high, not angry all right, and do not take medication”. So the question is, what kind of blood pressure value can be diagnosed as high blood pressure? First of all, let’s talk about the mechanism of blood pressure. Blood pressure is the lateral pressure acting on the walls of the blood vessels when the blood flows in the blood vessels, and it is the driving force that pushes the blood to flow in the blood vessels. In short, blood pressure pushes the blood to flow throughout the body. Without blood pressure, the blood in our body cannot flow, and human life would be over. Now that we know the mechanism of hypertension, let’s get back to the point, what kind of blood pressure is required to medically diagnose hypertension? Hypertension is defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by increased arterial blood pressure (systolic and/or diastolic) (systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg), which may be accompanied by functional or organic damage to organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. In other words, no matter which of your “low pressure” or “high pressure” reaches the standard, it is called high blood pressure. In general, the diagnosis of hypertension is based on the blood pressure measured in the clinic, using an approved mercury column or electronic sphygmomanometer to measure the blood pressure of the brachial artery area of the upper arm in the quiet resting and seated position, and it is generally necessary to measure the blood pressure value three times on a different day, and the systolic blood pressure value of the three times is higher than 140mmHg (including 140mmHg) and/or the diastolic blood pressure is higher than 90mmHg (including 90mmHg), then the diagnosis is made. Hypertension. Of course, if the patient has been diagnosed with hypertension before and is currently taking oral antihypertensive medication, although the blood pressure is normal, hypertension is also diagnosed. If the home self-measured blood pressure is higher than 135mmHg systolic and/or higher than 85mmHg diastolic, hypertension is also not excluded and further hospital examination is required. Generally speaking, the difference in blood pressure between two arms can be 10 to 20mmHg, but the arm with the higher blood pressure should prevail. After the above explanation, we have a certain understanding of the diagnosis of high blood pressure, that the beginning of the several examples we talked about can be understood, quiet normal, an angry high this does not belong to high blood pressure, clinic blood pressure measured high, but at home on the normal may be due to nervousness, etc., “high pressure” abnormal, “low pressure” abnormal, “high pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”, “low pressure”. “A high blood pressure measured in a clinic but normal at home may be due to stress, etc. A low blood pressure that is normal is also considered high blood pressure. Is your blood pressure high or not? Is your blood pressure accurate?
