The
blood pressure of normal adults should be within the range of systolic blood pressure 90-139mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 60-89mmHg. For patients with systolic blood pressure 170mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 120 mmHg, their blood pressure is abnormal. If it is a transient increase in blood pressure caused by emotional factors, drug factors, exercise factors, etc., it is generally not serious. However, if it is caused by heart disease, kidney disease and so on, the situation is relatively serious, if not treated in time, may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
