Is low pressure 53 normal?

Many people have low blood pressure. When our blood pressure drops, we will feel very uncomfortable. Many people may even fall into a coma due to low blood pressure. Blood pressure is divided into high pressure and low pressure. Low pressure is generally only around 80. If the low pressure is 53, it means that the patient's blood pressure is very low. Is low pressure 53 normal?

Normal blood pressure is a systolic value below 140 and a diastolic value below 90. However, the blood pressure of healthy people is not constant and often undergoes physiological changes. For example, blood pressure rises during exercise, after eating, and when you are emotionally excited; it drops slightly during sleep and when you are relaxed and happy. When you inhale, your blood pressure first drops and then rises; when you exhale, your blood pressure first rises and then drops. These changes in blood pressure are mostly temporary. Thin people tend to have low blood pressure, while overweight people tend to have high blood pressure. In your case, the high blood pressure is normal, and the low blood pressure is only slightly high, which should be within the normal range. But you are a middle-aged person, so you still have to worry about this. You should measure it a few more times, preferably when you are relatively calm, so that it will be more accurate. If it is normal, don't worry, just check it regularly in the future. It is best to eat a light diet with less salt.

During physical examinations, many young people have their blood pressure measured at 90/120 mmHg or 100/130 mmHg. Although the systolic pressure is not high, the diastolic pressure has exceeded the diagnostic standard. High low blood pressure is also high blood pressure. No matter whether it is low blood pressure or high blood pressure, as long as part of it exceeds the range specified in the hypertension diagnostic criteria, it is high blood pressure. There is an obvious characteristic of hypertension in young people, that is, the low pressure is high but the high pressure is not high. Regarding the situation where young people have high low blood pressure (diastolic blood pressure) but not high high blood pressure, here we will give you some relevant treatment knowledge.

First of all, if the low blood pressure is already higher than 100 mmHg, you should immediately go to the local cardiovascular department or hypertension specialist for diagnosis and treatment. Ask the doctor to develop a treatment plan and conduct a comprehensive physical examination to identify or rule out the cause of high blood pressure. Generally speaking, hypertensive patients whose diastolic blood pressure is already higher than 100 mmHg should start taking medication immediately. There are also many types of drugs for controlling high blood pressure. For young people with high diastolic pressure but low systolic pressure, they often choose ARB (sartans, with the word sartan after the name of the drug), ACEI (prils), and loras (heart rate-lowering) antihypertensive drugs. Generally, one class of drugs is selected for treatment first. If the effect is not good, combination therapy (combination of two or three classes of drugs) should be chosen. In addition to taking medication, you should also actively control your diet, exercise therapy, improve your lifestyle, etc.

Secondly, if the low blood pressure is between 90-100 mmHg, then this type of patient should immediately go to the local cardiovascular department or hypertension specialist for examination to rule out secondary hypertension, that is, to check whether there is any clear reason in the body causing high blood pressure. If the physical examination shows that the blood pressure is normal and there is no clear reason for the high blood pressure, then for young people whose low blood pressure is 90-100 mmHg and whose high blood pressure is not high, they can first control their diet, exercise therapy, and improve their lifestyle for 3-6 months. The methods mainly include: 1. Jogging or brisk walking to increase blood circulation and reduce weight; 2. A reasonable diet, less pungent food, and a low-salt diet; 3. Maintaining a psychological balance, relaxing, not staying up late, and reducing stress; 4. Maintaining good living habits, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol. If your blood pressure is not under control for a long time, you should start taking medication as soon as possible.

Third, if the low blood pressure is between 80-90 mmHg, although the low blood pressure does not exceed the diagnostic criteria for hypertension in our country, it has exceeded the diagnostic criteria in the 2017 American AHA Adult Hypertension Guidelines. For this group of people, it is best to adopt diet, exercise and other methods to control or lower blood pressure. It is best to lower the low blood pressure to below 80 mmHg.
