Blood pressure is high 126 and low 100. It seems that the pressure difference is too small. What happened?

According to the World Health Organization, the systolic blood pressure of normal blood pressure should not exceed140mm Hg, and the diastolic blood pressure should not exceed 90mm Hg. Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 160 or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 95. Critical hypertension is between normal and hypertension. Hypertension is divided into primary hypertension (related to heredity) and secondary hypertension (caused by certain diseases). Long-term hypertension will cause a series of pathological changes such as heart, brain, kidney, blood vessels and fundus. Secondary hypertension is mainly treated for the primary disease.

Treatment of hypertension:

1, salt-limited diet, if the daily intake of salt can not exceed 0.4 grams, it is best.

2. Control food intake and lose weight.

3. Quit smoking and drinking.

4. Moderate exercise.

5. Sleep more.

6. medication. Find out the antihypertensive drug that suits you, starting with a small dose and gradually increasing it. When the effective dose is reached, gradually reduce the dose until the minimum amount that can be effective is found as the maintenance amount. Take medicine regularly for a long time. The principle is not to stop. For essential hypertension, it will rebound when it stops, which is more harmful.

Normal pulse pressure is 30-40mm Hg. Increased pulse pressure is seen in aortic valve insufficiency, patent ductus arteriosus, arteriovenous fistula, hyperthyroidism, severe anemia and senile arteriosclerosis. The decrease of pulse pressure is mainly seen in aortic stenosis, heart failure, hypotension, pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis.
