Hello doctor.
My mother has high blood pressure, she takes medicine every day, but the day her mother went to the doctor, her blood pressure was 200, not tired, no headache. So, depending on each person's body, high blood pressure is different, I heard that blood pressure of 140 is already high, my mother is 43 this year. Please give me feedback. Thank you doctor!

Hello friend, the doctor would like to answer the question: "Blood pressure 200 is not tired, no headache, does it depend on the location?" As follows:
For adults aged 18 and over, when the measured blood pressure reading is 140/90 mmHg or higher, it is called hypertension. When your mother is taking daily blood pressure medicine regularly but her blood pressure is below 140/90 mmHg and feels comfortable, that's blood pressure medicine has good blood pressure control effect, you should remind her to maintain daily, the drug should not be stopped. Each person will be suitable for a few different blood pressure medications, so don't take someone else's blood pressure medication but see a cardiologist.
You can take the doctor to the nearest medical facility or the Hospital/clinic of Vinmec Health System to be examined and consulted by the doctors more carefully. Best regards!
