Hello.
My name is Keiichiro Ohba and I am the director of Ohba Internal Medicine Clinic.
How high should my blood pressure be before I should go to the hospital?
Is it dangerous? I get asked this question from time to time.
A health check revealed high blood pressure.
You had your blood pressure measured by your family doctor and was told that your blood pressure was high.
How many years have you had high blood pressure?
Also, what is your current blood pressure?
What was your blood pressure during your health check?
People whose blood pressure is high only during health checkups or medical examinations.
There are no problems at home.
There are many different people.
How high should my blood pressure be?
That's worrying, isn't it?
Today, I would like to talk a little bit about how long it is okay to be sick, or when you should go to the hospital.
It's blood pressure.
Generally speaking, the standard for high blood pressure is 140 or higher.
Below is 90 and above.
After all, I sometimes think that my blood pressure is a bit high.
The treatment goal for blood pressure, how low should it be lowered, is 125/75 at home.
It is also said that a value of 130/80 or lower is desirable for examination rooms and checkups.
The standards are quite strict, aren't they?
Also, I'm sure many of you know that a few years ago the standards became even stricter, and the standards have been updated.
What is your blood pressure now?
Please be sure to measure your blood pressure at home.
I'm often asked at what level my blood pressure is dangerous or dangerous, but what's wrong with continued high blood pressure is arteriosclerosis.
Cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction.
If it affects the heart, problems such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction may occur.
This is 170 or 180.
It is true that people with very high blood pressure are more likely to suffer from this disease, but it has been reported that these diseases can occur even in people with high blood pressure in the so-called 140-140 range, so it is true that people with high blood pressure in the 140/90 or 130/80 range are more likely to suffer from this disease. is not it.
If it continues for a long time, I think it would be better to go to the hospital and ask your doctor about your blood pressure and what to do about it.
How many times should you measure your blood pressure? You can measure your blood pressure 2 or 3 times and take the lowest one, so if your blood pressure always seems to be over 140/90, it might be a little dangerous. I think it's better.
There are many reasons why your blood pressure may rise.
What about lack of sleep, stress, salt, and tobacco?
Also, drinking too much alcohol.
Also, lack of exercise.
The other most common causes are lack of sleep and obesity.
Being overweight, like salt, quitting smoking, just exercising.
Also, just eating a lot of salad can probably lower your blood pressure by a little over 10 points, so if you don't want to take medicine, please check your blood pressure at home while eating and improving your lifestyle habits. I think you should take it.
Once you start taking medicine, it doesn't mean you're done.
If you change your lifestyle, change your diet, stop smoking, and refrain from drinking alcohol, your blood pressure will go down.
Many people's blood pressure goes down if they get a good night's sleep, so they may be able to reduce or stop their blood pressure medication.
It is not a good idea to adjust your medication on your own, so please consult your doctor before adjusting your medication.
This is today's summary.
At what level should my blood pressure be taken to the hospital?
Is it dangerous? I received a question.
If your blood pressure is consistently above 140/90, I think you should visit a hospital once.
Or it's in the late 130/80 range.If it continues, I think it's a good idea to visit a hospital.
There are people who have high blood pressure due to various reasons such as diet, lifestyle, and constitution.
The causes of high blood pressure vary from person to person, so be sure to consult your family doctor.
