Young man, blood pressure 168. Is it serious?

If

the heart, cuff and sphygmomanometer are not placed on the same horizontal line when measuring blood pressure, there are a lot of exercises, emotional fluctuations, eating more food and other conditions before measurement, which is easy to stimulate sympathetic nerve excitation, resulting in transient increase in blood pressure. At this time, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure are within the normal range, usually not serious. If the young person measures blood pressure in a calm state, the above conditions do not exist before the blood pressure measurement, and the correct standard use of sphygmomanometer, the measurement results are abnormal, indicating that there may be hypertension, generally more serious. If you do not see a doctor as soon as possible, it may cause transient ischemic attack, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage and other complications.
