Answered by Master, Doctor Dao Kim Phuong - Department of Medical Examination, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is blood pressure 139/101 high? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Such blood pressure is grade 2 diastolic hypertension. According to the European Society of Cardiology and Blood Pressure (ESC/ESH) 2018:
Hypertension grade 1: Blood systolic pressure 140 - 159 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure 90 - 99 mmHg. Grade 2 hypertension: systolic blood pressure 160 - 179 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure 100 - 109 mmHg. Grade 3 hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg. If the measurement is accurate, and occurs many times, then you already have high blood pressure, need to see a Cardiologist for treatment, along with a light diet, regular exercise, avoid stimulants, stress straight. The doctor will examine and consider the accompanying factors to make the drug suitable for each individual.
If you still have questions about blood pressure 139/101, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
