High pressure of 167 that is, systolic blood pressure of 167 mmHg may be normal if it is physiological, but it is not normal if it is diagnosed as hypertension.
1. Normal: when subjected to mental stimulation, fear, emotional excitement, exercise and other situations, due to the role of the body’s neuromodulation, which can increase cardiac output and sympathetic nerve excitation, which causes the body’s physiological blood pressure rise, but transient rest can be restored.
2. Abnormal: Under the premise of non-pharmacological control, the systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg in 3 measurements of the clinic on a non-same day is called hypertension; and the systolic blood pressure of 167mmHg can be diagnosed as grade 2 hypertension. If the blood pressure is poorly controlled, serious conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage and chronic renal failure are likely to occur, even life-threatening.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to determine the cause of the elevated blood pressure and then give targeted treatment.
