What are the risks of having long-term blood pressure at 150/110?

Blood pressure persistently at 150/110 generally refers to a systolic pressure of 150 mmHg and a diastolic pressure between 100–110 mmHg, which may lead to cerebrovascular diseases, heart conditions, and kidney damage.

1. Cerebrovascular Disease

Under normal circumstances, systolic pressure ranges between 90–140 mmHg and diastolic pressure between 60–90 mmHg. If the systolic pressure reaches 150 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is as high as 110 mmHg, this can be diagnosed as stage 3 hypertension, which is quite severe. Without timely treatment, it may lead to cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, and could even pose life-threatening risks.

2. Heart Disease

Consistently high blood pressure may significantly increase cardiac workload and potentially trigger acute myocardial infarction. Patients may experience symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and arrhythmia. Without prompt treatment, this condition may result in death.

3. Kidney Damage

If hypertension persists over a long period without timely treatment, it may cause kidney damage, leading to reduced renal function. Symptoms such as hematuria (blood in urine) or anuria (absence of urine) may appear. In severe cases, it may progress to uremia. Patients should promptly begin antihypertensive medication under a doctor's guidance, such as nifedipine tablets or amlodipine tablets, to bring blood pressure back to a normal range.

In addition, long-term hypertension may also lead to retinal hemorrhage. During treatment, patients should engage in regular physical exercise and maintain a well-balanced diet.
