High pressure 140mmHg, low pressure 100mmHg, if it is the result of an occasional measurement, it is not recommended to take medication, if it is long-term, it is recommended to take medication to control it.
According to the diagnostic standard of hypertension, high pressure 140mmHg, low pressure 100mmHg belongs to grade 2 of hypertension. If it is found in the first measurement, it cannot be diagnosed as hypertension, and it is necessary to exclude accidental factors such as occasional increase in blood pressure caused by not calming the mood after activities, staying up late and drinking alcohol.
It is necessary to repeat the measurement in a calm state on a non-same day. If the result of the repeat measurement is normal, it is not recommended to take medication, and it is sufficient to actively test the blood pressure; if the result is still at this level, then the diagnosis of hypertension is established, and it is necessary to control it with oral medication in a timely manner, so as to avoid cardio-cerebral and cerebral vascular diseases due to the fluctuation of the blood pressure.
High blood pressure medication needs to be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor, once the medication is used, if the medication is discontinued at will, there will be a rebound in blood pressure, which is even more hazardous to health. Normally, we should pay attention to rest, enhance exercise, low sodium diet, maintain a good lifestyle.
