Introduction
A blood pressure reading of 145 mmHg in young individuals is usually considered abnormal. In resting adults, normal systolic blood pressure ranges from 90 to 140 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure ranges from 60 to 89 mmHg. A blood pressure of 145 mmHg typically refers to the systolic pressure, which exceeds the normal range and therefore indicates a high blood pressure state—classified as stage 1 hypertension.

Blood pressure of 145 mmHg in young people is usually considered abnormal. Specific details are as follows:

In normal adults, resting systolic blood pressure ranges between 90–140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure between 60–89 mmHg. A blood pressure reading of 145 mmHg typically refers to a systolic pressure of 145 mmHg, which exceeds the normal range and therefore indicates elevated blood pressure—classified as stage 1 hypertension. If the individual does not exhibit significant clinical symptoms, medication is generally not required. It is recommended to make appropriate lifestyle and dietary adjustments in daily life, which can help improve the condition. However, if symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness, or palpitations have already appeared, antihypertensive medications may be used under a doctor's guidance, such as isosorbide mononitrate tablets or metoprolol tartrate tablets.

Young individuals with high blood pressure should also visit a正规 hospital for examination while managing their blood pressure, to identify the underlying cause of the elevated blood pressure and receive targeted treatment for any primary conditions.
