A high pressure of 190mmHg and a low pressure of 120mmHg is very serious and is classified as grade 3 hypertension, which can cause serious damage to the cardiovascular system and target organs, as well as risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
Grade 3 hypertension is defined as systolic (high pressure) ≥180mmHg and/or diastolic (low pressure) ≥110mmHg, so a high pressure of 190mmHg and a low pressure of 120mmHg fall into the category of grade 3 hypertension, which can aggravate the damage to the target organs of the heart and blood vessels, and may lead to acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
Prolonged exposure to grade 3 hypertension triggers hypertrophy and enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart. It can lead to small arterial lesions throughout the body, triggering ischemia in heart, brain and kidney tissues. Meanwhile, long-term high blood pressure can promote the formation and development of atherosclerosis. There is a risk of stroke, myocardial infarction and other acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
In summary, high pressure 190mmHg, low pressure 120mmHg, is a dangerous state, will lead to the heart, brain, kidneys, retina and other organs undergo serious damage, for this reason must promptly consult a doctor, follow the doctor’s instructions for medication, as soon as possible will be controlled to a reasonable level of blood pressure.
