FAQ
Q1: What are the dangers of high blood pressure?
A1: If hypertension is not effectively controlled over a long period of time, it will cause continuous damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, arteries and other organs, eventually leading to serious complications such as myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, kidney failure and atherosclerosis, posing a great threat to life and health.
Q2: Why are the blood pressure values measured in the hospital different from those measured at home?
A2: Blood pressure changes throughout the 24 hours and is not fixed. Blood pressure measurements can be affected by a variety of factors such as environment, measurement posture, emotional state, and time of day. Therefore, you should remain relaxed and quiet before taking the measurement.
Q3: Is the result the same if measured on the right arm?
A3: It is ok for both arms, but there will be some different results for different people. It is recommended that you measure the same arm every time.
Q4: When is the best time to measure blood pressure?

Measure blood pressure 2-3 hours after taking antihypertensive medication: For patients with hypertension, measuring blood pressure two or three hours after taking medication can reflect whether the medication is effective and how long it lasts.
