Blood pressure 157/97mmHg needs to be retested and other secondary hypertension factors are excluded. After the diagnosis of hypertension is clarified, medication such as furosemide and nifedipine should be used under the guidance of a doctor. 1. The normal level of blood pressure should be lower than 140/90mmHg. If the blood pressure is higher than 140mmHg (systolic blood pressure) and/or 90mmHg (diastolic blood pressure) in three measurements in a quiet state on a non-simultaneous day, and other secondary factors (e.g., pheochromocytoma) are excluded, then the diagnosis of hypertension can be clearly made. A blood pressure of 157/97 mmHg belongs to the first level of hypertension (140-159 mmHg/90-99 mmHg). 2. There are many types of antihypertensive drugs, and currently there are four major categories of commonly used antihypertensive drugs, which are diuretics (e.g., furosemide, etc.), calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, etc.), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (captopril, etc.), and angiotensin receptor II blockers (candesartan, etc.), as well as β-receptor blockers (propranolol, etc.). 3. Hypertension level 1 should be correctly administered under the guidance of a doctor after a clear diagnosis, and commonly used ones include nifedipine extended-release tablets, amlodipine benzenesulfonate tablets, and Benadryl. Adverse effects of the above antihypertensive drugs include palpitations, cough, etc. They are contraindicated for those who are allergic to the ingredients of the drug. Blood pressure of 157/97mmHg needs to be closely monitored, and it is recommended to consult a cardiology specialist in time to clarify the diagnosis and correctly use the medication, so as to avoid delays in the condition.
