A patient with a systolic blood pressure of 138 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure of 88 mmHg is considered to have normal high blood pressure, or normal blood pressure, according to the most widely used criteria for diagnosing hypertension. According to the new diagnostic criteria, this blood pressure is currently abnormal and is considered hypertension. The new standard is that the systolic blood pressure should not be greater than 130mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure should not be greater than 80mmHg. However, no matter which standard is used, there is no need to take antihypertensive medication first, and you can start a lifestyle intervention to improve it, such as paying attention to the low-salt, low-fat diet, strictly limiting the total amount of salt intake every day, preferably to control it to less than 6 grams, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, keeping a happy mood, regular rest and relaxation, so as to help you to improve the quality of your life. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, keep your mood happy, and work and rest regularly, which will help to lower your blood pressure. If the blood pressure still fails to reach the standard after lifestyle intervention, antihypertensive medication can be initiated in small doses.
