Is a blood pressure reading of 145 mmHg (systolic) and 95 mmHg (diastolic) serious?

　　The professional term for "high pressure" is systolic blood pressure, and the professional term for "low pressure" is diastolic blood pressure. Under normal circumstances, a systolic blood pressure of 145 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure of 95 mmHg have already exceeded the normal range, but fall within the category of Stage 1 hypertension, which is considered mild hypertension and generally not regarded as particularly severe.

　　Normal blood pressure typically ranges between 90-139 mmHg for systolic pressure and 60-89 mmHg for diastolic pressure. Stage 1 hypertension is generally defined as having a systolic pressure between 140-159 mmHg and a diastolic pressure between 90-99 mmHg. A systolic pressure of 145 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 95 mmHg fall precisely within this range.

　　Stage 1 hypertension is usually considered mild, and patients may experience no obvious symptoms or only mild discomfort, so it is not generally regarded as particularly serious. However, if left uncontrolled, blood pressure may continue to rise, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

　　It is recommended that patients actively adopt lifestyle interventions and, under a doctor's guidance, undergo necessary pharmacological treatments such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets, amlodipine besylate tablets, and irbesartan capsules to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications.
