What should I do if my systolic blood pressure is slightly high?

When the systolic blood pressure (the higher number in a blood pressure reading) is elevated, non-pharmacological treatment measures should be initially implemented, including lifestyle modifications: Reduce salt intake to no more than 6 grams daily; increase consumption of foods rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals; perform regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, for at least 150 minutes weekly at moderate intensity; maintain a healthy weight and avoid obesity; quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, and reduce caffeine intake; learn stress management techniques and ensure adequate sleep. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after lifestyle adjustments, antihypertensive medications should be appropriately used under a doctor's guidance, with regular blood pressure monitoring and timely adjustments to the treatment plan. Additionally, it is important to screen for and manage potential hypertension-related complications and comorbidities, such as hyperlipidemia and diabetes, to achieve comprehensive blood pressure management and control.
