What is considered as normal blood pressure?
The normal range of diastolic blood pressure for adults should be 60-90 mmHg, and the normal range of systolic blood pressure is 90-140 mmHg. When measuring blood pressure, it may occasionally be too low or too high, which may be due to exercise or fatigue. It is recommended to rest for a while and wait for stability before measuring again to restore normalcy. If it remains too low or too high, active treatment is required.
The normal range of blood pressure for adults is 90-139 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 60-89 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the heart on the blood vessel walls during contraction and relaxation. The pressure generated during heart contraction is the systolic blood pressure, and the diastolic blood pressure occurs during relaxation. Generally, the blood pressure measured at the elbow fossa is used as the criterion for diagnosis of hypertension.
If the blood pressure exceeds the normal range, it is necessary to improve the diet structure and lifestyle. Daily diet should be low in salt and fat. Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor, as well as excessive emotional fluctuations. If high blood pressure causes significant discomfort, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to take antihypertensive medication for treatment.
Hypertension is generally caused by genetic factors, excessive body weight, and may also be closely related to kidney diseases and endocrine disorders. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately diagnose the cause of hypertension and treat it accordingly to ensure effective treatment.
