What is the normal blood pressure value for a person

Nowadays, more and more people suffer from hypertension, and most of them occur among the elderly, but there are also a few young people. However, most people do not care about high blood pressure and just take medicine for no reason. Some people even drink alcohol recklessly even though they have high blood pressure. They do not care at all and do not know how to control their blood pressure. So what is the normal blood pressure value for a person?

What is hypertension? If the blood pressure is measured three times in a row (not on the same day), if the systolic pressure is >140mmHg (18.7Kpa) or the diastolic pressure is 90mmHg (12.0Kpa), it is considered hypertension. How to measure blood pressure? Measure blood pressure on the same arm at the same time and keep a record for your doctor to refer to when adjusting the treatment plan.

Blood pressure refers to the pressure exerted by blood on the blood vessel walls when blood flows in the blood vessels. It is divided into systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure refers to the highest pressure in the arteries when the heart's ventricles contract (commonly known as "high pressure"); diastolic pressure refers to the lowest pressure in the arteries when the ventricles relax (commonly known as "low pressure"). It is generally believed that the systolic blood pressure of a normal adult is 90-140 mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure is 60-90 mmHg. If an adult's systolic blood pressure is lower than 90 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is lower than 60 mmHg, it is called "hypotension." Hypotension can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Hypertension is a common cardiovascular disease and an important risk factor for major human mortality diseases such as coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Obesity, smoking, drinking, excessive salt intake, lack of exercise, and psychological stress are risk factors that lead to hypertension. Medical research shows that early prevention and early stable treatment of hypertension and a healthy lifestyle can prevent and control 75% of hypertension and its complications. The government designates October 8th of each year as "National Hypertension Day", so our aim is to popularize knowledge on the prevention and treatment of hypertension and improve the health level and quality of life of the entire nation.

Why is blood pressure difficult to control?

What does it mean that blood pressure is difficult to control? There are currently dozens of commonly used antihypertensive drugs in six categories. If the drugs are selected appropriately, the blood pressure of most patients can be controlled within the ideal or normal range. However, for a small number of hypertensive patients, even if they take three or more antihypertensive drugs including diuretics, and each drug is used in sufficient doses and for sufficient time, their blood pressure is still 140/90 mmHg or above. This is called refractory hypertension, commonly known as difficult-to-control blood pressure. Patients with hypertension are prone to a series of cardiovascular diseases. But as blood pressure is controlled, the incidence of these diseases will be greatly reduced or even avoided. Therefore, for hypertensive patients whose blood pressure is difficult to control, they must go to the hospital in time to let the doctor analyze and find the cause and further adjust the treatment.

The following is an approximate calculation of normal values:

Age Systolic Blood Pressure (Male) Diastolic Blood Pressure (Male) Systolic Blood Pressure (Female) Diastolic Blood Pressure (Female) 16-20 115 73 110 70 21-25 115 73 110 71 26-30 115 75 112 73 31-35 117 76 114 74 36-40 120 80 116 77 41-45 124 81 122 78 46-50 128 82 128 79 51-55 134 84 134 80 56-60 137 84 139 82 61-65 148 86 145 83

The above is the correct guidance from professionals on the normal blood pressure range for people. Therefore, patients must take this issue seriously. This is not a joke. High blood pressure will always threaten our lives. In our daily life, we should also pay attention to our diet and rest time, and not make our life irregular. Otherwise it will aggravate the condition.
