Most patients with hypertension will have a strong sense of pressure control, and basically form the habit of taking medicine after getting up at six or seven every day, with lifestyle interventions such as diet and exercise.
Moreover, patients with hypertension know very well that the normal and safe blood pressure value is below 120/80mmHg. If it exceeds this value, they are worried that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will come to you.
So is this understanding really correct? !
Is this safe blood pressure value that everyone has been pursuing really safe?
Dr. Xu Dong, the chief physician of Beijing xuanwu hospital Heart Center, stressed that people of different ages have different safe blood pressure values, and the blood pressure values suitable for them are more conducive to their health!
Different ages have different safe blood pressure values.
The first factor to consider in lowering blood pressure is: age!
In medicine, hypertension is defined as not taking antihypertensive drugs. Measure systolic blood pressure (high pressure) ≥ 140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (low pressure) ≥90mmHg on three different dates.
This blood pressure value is more accurate for people under 60.
The safe range of blood pressure for the elderly over 60 years old is 150/90mmHg.
The basic blood pressure of the elderly will be higher. For example, the basic blood pressure of many elderly people is1200mmHg or higher. If you lower your blood pressure by taking medicine, it seems to be up to standard. However, considering the blood supply needs of other organs of the body, lowering the basal blood pressure from too high to too low will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and lead to dangerous events.
For the elderly, the brain needs a higher level of blood pressure to ensure that the brain has enough blood supply, so the safe range of blood pressure for the elderly is generally not higher than 150/90mmHg. As long as it does not exceed this level, there is no need to take the initiative to reduce blood pressure.
However, people under the age of 60 have better vascular elasticity and atherosclerosis is not very serious. If the blood pressure is above 140mmHg and/or 90mmHg for a long time, it will cause serious load on human cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it is easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease. Therefore, for young people, blood pressure must be strictly controlled within a safe range!
I hope everyone can clearly understand their suitable safe blood pressure range, don't blindly lower blood pressure, let blood pressure drop too low and too fast, and lowering blood pressure smoothly according to age is the idea of scientific blood pressure control. Only by controlling stress scientifically can cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases be avoided to the greatest extent.
