May 17, 2023 is the 19th "World Hypertension Day", and this year's theme is "Accurate Measurement, Effective Control, Healthy Longevity". However, the current trend of "youthfulness" in hypertension is becoming increasingly evident. On the same day, the Cardiovascular Department and General Medicine Department of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital (the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University) conducted a joint free clinic, attracting a large number of citizens to inquire. There is no feeling, but hypertension has quietly arrived. During a recent physical examination organized by his unit, Mr. Zhou, 28 years old, his blood pressure almost exploded, reaching 200/150mmHg! After retesting several times with similar results, Mr. Zhou rushed to the local hospital for emergency treatment. After intravenous medication to control blood pressure and improved skull CT to exclude cerebral hemorrhage, the danger signal was initially relieved. Mr. Zhou said that he didn't have any dizziness or headaches before and suddenly became a hypertensive patient. In confusion, he went to the chief physician Sun Wei of the Cardiovascular Department of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital for treatment. Dr. Sun Wei, the chief physician, found that Mr. Zhou is 1.75 meters tall and weighs nearly 200 pounds. He also has the habit of staying up late and eating late snacks, which may be the cause of hypertension. A series of related examinations revealed that Mr. Zhou has been suffering from high blood pressure for a long time. Long term high blood pressure has made his blood vessels elastic and thickened the left ventricular wall of the heart. Based on the examination results, the diagnosis is: hypertension level 3 (severe), hyperlipidemia, common carotid artery plaques, and mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Dr. Sun Wei, Chief Physician, stated that after receiving standardized treatment with antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs, Mr. Zhou's blood pressure can be basically controlled within 140/90mmHg. However, after discharge, it is necessary to strictly follow the exercise prescription, strengthen physical exercise, actively reduce weight, and improve lifestyle habits. The incidence rate of hypertension in men born in the 1990s has exceeded 20%, according to Dr. Sun Wei. According to data statistics, the incidence rate of hypertension in young men aged 25 to 34 in China's' 90s generation 'population has exceeded 20%. This may be closely related to factors such as high salt diet, obesity, smoking and alcohol abuse, and high stress. When taking daily blood pressure measurements, there is no need to worry too much if the results are occasionally too high. Generally speaking, if the systolic blood pressure (high pressure) is higher than 140mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure (low pressure) is higher than 90mmHg after three measurements (not on the same day) without taking antihypertensive drugs, it is necessary to be vigilant. If the systolic blood pressure is found to be higher than 180mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure is found to be higher than 110mmHg, it is likely to endanger life if not handled in a timely manner. At this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for emergency treatment. Do you need to take medication for high blood pressure? Hypertensive patients often have no obvious symptoms in the early stages or mild symptoms (such as frequent dizziness, headache, chest tightness, palpitations, etc.), so some people believe that hypertension does not require treatment. However, once hypertension presents symptoms, it is often accompanied by fatal diseases such as sudden heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. If left untreated for a long time, it can be quite dangerous. Many young people have a temporary mild increase in blood pressure, and if they correct their unhealthy lifestyle in a timely manner, most can recover
