Introduction: If blood pressure increases, you need to pay great attention to it and maintain a stable blood pressure by regularly measuring blood pressure. Many people ignore their blood pressure after rising, which may lead to the disease of hypertension and .
High blood pressure is highly harmful and may also bring certain complications, so physical health may be affected. Therefore, it is very important to measure blood pressure correctly and understand blood pressure changes. So, when is the most accurate time to measure blood pressure?
Hypertension classification standard
Hypertension is divided into three levels , which are called high blood pressure first level, high blood pressure second level and high blood pressure third level, which can also be called mild, moderate and severe hypertension. The specific numerical limit of
is that the primary hypertension is ≥140/90mmHg, but, ＜159/99mmHg; when systolic blood pressure is between 160-179mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is between 100-109mmHg, it is called hypertension secondary level; when systolic blood pressure ≥180mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥110mmHg, is called hypertension level 3, which is the classification standard for the severity of hypertension.
The most ideal interval value for hypertension
Ideal blood pressure is the systolic blood pressure is about 120mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure is about 80mmHg. As we age, the blood pressure range can be slightly relaxed to 125/85mmHg, avoiding exceeding 140/90mmHg.
However, if it is an elderly person over 80 years old, the standard can be relaxed to less than 150/90mmHg. There are slight differences in the ideal blood pressure of different age groups.
Is blood pressure high = hypertension?
For a single increase in blood pressure, it cannot be diagnosed as hypertensive disease. It needs to be observed for a period of time before it can be concluded. Because in daily life, excessive exercise, nervousness, unstable mood, and poor rest will all increase blood pressure.
Therefore, , once the blood pressure rises, it cannot be concluded that it is a hypertensive disease . In order to avoid this symptom, rest more and maintain a good life pattern.
These three early symptoms appear. It is recommended to self-check hypertension
Difficulty headache
Under body symptoms will be relatively obvious when blood pressure is increased. For example, feeling dizziness and headache in a short period of time is likely to be adverse symptoms caused by abnormal blood pressure.
Because during the process of increased blood pressure, the blood flows in the blood vessels will cause greater sub-pressure to the blood vessel walls , so dizziness and headache symptoms will be relatively obvious.
If this situation exists, it is best to lower blood pressure in a reasonable way. Otherwise, if the blood pressure continues to rise, blood vessels will also cause rupture in severe cases, which are all serious effects of hypertension.
physical strength decreases
The reason why physical strength decreases may be related to the continuous increase in blood pressure, which causes damage to many organs in the body.
If the blood pressure is in a high pressure state for a long time, it will accelerate the loss of potassium ion in the body, which will cause the patient to experience hypokalemia , which will also cause the patient to lose energy.
Legs and feet are numb
The individual reaction of patients with hypertension has a very large relationship with blood pressure. When your legs and legs are numb or your body movement is inconsistent, you must pay attention to this.
Usually, this phenomenon is very easy to occur after exercise or fatigue in the morning. will fluctuate greatly due to its own and external conditions.
When is the most accurate time to measure blood pressure? Doctor's advice: There are two best times. Many people may have tested
for some hypertensive patients, is particularly important for real-time monitoring of their blood pressure levels . So when is the most accurate time to monitor blood pressure?
The first best time: When you wake up in the morning
Generally speaking, before you wake up in the morning, the body's metabolic activity is in a relatively low state due to sleep all night. At this time, the blood pressure measured by is more accurate, and the blood pressure measurement is more objective at this time.
The second best time: 6-10 am, 4-8 pm
These are the two peak blood pressure periods in the day. After getting up at 6 am, the blood pressure begins to slowly rise and reaches its peak at around 10 o'clock. For healthy people, the blood pressure measured by will not exceed the normal range at this time.
extension - How to correctly measure blood pressure?
Blood pressure measurement is divided into: direct measurement method and indirect measurement method.
(1) Direct measurement method: The direct method refers to the method of directly measuring blood pressure in a hospital , which can measure blood pressure directly through the radial artery or femoral artery cannulation, or it may also be that when measuring pulmonary artery pressure, it is directly punctured into the blood vessel through the catheter.
(2) Indirect measurement method: is trauma-free, simple and easy to operate, does not require special equipment, and has a wide range of applications. However, due to the susceptibility to peripheral artery comfort and other factors, the measured blood pressure value often changes. should pay attention to standardized operations during inspection.
