Do you have to take medication for blood pressure between 150 and 160?

  When blood pressure reaches 150-160mmHg, it is not necessarily necessary to take medication, and it is determined according to the specific circumstances of the slow rule, such as whether there has been strenuous exercise, physical fitness, regularity of work and rest, and other judgments.  If the elevated blood pressure is caused by intense exercise, such as playing basketball, running, staying up late for a long time, lack of sleep, smoking and drinking, obesity, etc., it can be restored to the normal blood pressure range (i.e., systolic blood pressure <120mmHg, diastolic blood pressure <80mmHg) after adjusting rest and getting sufficient sleep, there is no need to take medication, as long as you maintain good rest in daily life, minimize smoking and drinking, and control your weight through diet and exercise. If the systolic blood pressure reaches 150-160 mmhg in general daily life and is a constant state, often accompanied by dizziness and palpitations, hypertension may exist, and it is necessary to visit the cardiovascular medicine or hypertension department and take medication according to medical advice.  People with easily elevated blood pressure or diagnosed hypertension need to pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet and avoid animal oil and animal offal.
