Is it serious if the diastolic blood pressure is 110 and the systolic blood pressure is 130?
My mother's blood pressure reading today showed a diastolic pressure of 110 and a systolic pressure of 130. Is a diastolic pressure of 110 and a systolic pressure of 130 serious?
Doctor's answer (1)
A blood pressure condition with a diastolic pressure of 110 mmHg and a systolic pressure of 130 mmHg is very serious, especially since the diastolic value has far exceeded the normal range. In healthy adults, blood pressure should be maintained within a systolic (maximum) pressure range of 90-140 mmHg and a diastolic (minimum) pressure range of 60-90 mmHg. In the current situation, the diastolic pressure has already reached 110 mmHg, meeting the diagnostic criteria for stage 3 hypertension.
If this hypertensive state persists long-term without proper control, it may lead to damage in key target organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, potentially triggering a series of severe complications including cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, coronary artery disease, heart failure, chronic renal insufficiency, and even threatening life safety.
Therefore, upon detection of such a blood pressure condition, immediate medical consultation is necessary, and active treatment should be pursued according to the physician's recommendations. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including balanced nutrition, appropriate physical activity, avoidance of tobacco and alcohol, and weight control—is essential to assist in lowering blood pressure.
