Answer
Hello! A maximum blood pressure reading of 140 – 145 mmHg is classified as grade I hypertension. With your current blood pressure status, you should see a doctor to find out the cause of high blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors.
You can take non-pharmacological measures such as: eat lightly, lose weight, quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol, exercise regularly. Treat concomitant diseases (if any) such as: type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity... At the same time, check blood pressure regularly. If your blood pressure cannot be controlled, you should start taking antihypertensive drugs as ordered by your doctor.
You can perform health checks at specialized medical facilities or hospitals under Vinmec Health System to be consulted by qualified doctors.
