High blood pressure 150 low pressure 100 is high blood pressure

High pressure and low pressure generally refer to systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure 150mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 100mmHg is not necessarily hypertension.

Adults in quiet, awake state, normal range of blood pressure should be in systolic blood pressure 90-139mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 60-89mmHg. There are many reasons for the increase in human blood pressure, such as emotional excitement, drinking excitatory drinks, strenuous exercise and other physiological blood pressure increase, prompting the examiner to find that their single blood pressure in systolic blood pressure 150mmHg, diastolic blood pressure in 100mmHg, belongs to the normal phenomenon, and can not be called hypertension. However, if the examiner has a systolic blood pressure of 150mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure of 100mmHg measured at least 3 times on different days, it is generally considered hypertension and the examiner needs active treatment.
