I was surprised by a blood pressure measurement at the pharmacy, 156 for high pressure and 98 for low pressure, which is surprisingly high. I didn't feel any discomfort, so why did I suddenly become high blood pressure?
I immediately went to the hospital, where there was a more accurate blood pressure measuring instrument. I sat on a bench in the hospital, feeling a little nervous. After ten minutes of waiting, I finally started measuring. The first result was a high pressure of 149 and a low pressure of 83. Although it is still on the high side, it is lower than the measurement of pharmacies.
I took another measurement, this time 138 at high and 91 at low. I was a little confused, the results were far from the same. One is high pressure, one is low pressure, which is accurate?
I began to calm down and sat back down for the third measurement. This time the result was a high pressure of 136, a low pressure of 88, and a pulse of 74, which was obviously normal this time. So, how did the previous measurements go so high?Do I have high blood pressure?
I have a question in my mind: if I have high blood pressure, will the data be low after multiple measurements?On the other hand, if the blood pressure is normal, will there be a particularly high result after multiple measurements?
For this question, I consulted a medical professional. The doctor explained that blood pressure is dynamic and affected by many factors. Therefore, it is quite normal for multiple measurements to have different results. However, if the result is high after multiple measurements, it is likely that it is high blood pressure.
The doctor also reminded me not to be too nervous just because my blood pressure was too high. Factors such as emotional stress, exercise, and diet may affect blood pressure measurements. If you have any doubts about your blood pressure, you can take multiple measurements and consult a medical professional.
After this experience, I deeply realized the importance of blood pressure measurement. At the same time, it also reminded me not to be too nervous about the results of a single measurement. In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to diet, exercise, and emotional management to keep blood pressure stable. If you have any discomfort or concerns, it is important to consult a medical professional in a timely manner.
