Is a diastolic blood pressure of 92 dangerous?
I went to the hospital for a blood pressure measurement, and my lowest blood pressure was 92. Is a diastolic pressure of 92 dangerous?
Doctor's answer (1)
Low blood pressure, specifically diastolic blood pressure, generally does not pose an immediate acute danger when it reaches 92 mmHg. However, maintaining this or a higher level over a long period may signal a risk of hypertension.
A normal diastolic blood pressure range should be between 60 and 89 mmHg. If diastolic blood pressure consistently measures above 90 mmHg across multiple readings, it meets the diagnostic criteria for stage 1 hypertension. Patients at this blood pressure level may occasionally experience mild discomfort, such as dizziness or headaches.
For a diastolic blood pressure reading of 92 mmHg, it is recommended to take multiple blood pressure measurements to more accurately assess overall health status. If blood pressure remains persistently elevated, timely medical consultation is advised. Additionally, cultivating and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits—such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, consistent sleep patterns, maintaining an appropriate weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and quitting smoking—can effectively help control blood pressure.
