BP 100/160. What's going on?

Blood pressure 100mmHg/160mmHg generally refers to diastolic blood pressure 100mmHg, systolic blood pressure 160mmHg, may be caused by physiological phenomena, hypertension, hypertension emergency and other factors, the specific analysis is as follows:

1. Physiological phenomena

If the patient's mood is more excited or strenuous exercise, it will lead to sympathetic nerve excitation, causing myocardial contraction to accelerate, thus causing the above situation.

2.

After the occurrence of hypertension, the pressure in the blood vessel wall increases, causing blood pressure to rise, the above phenomenon will occur.
