Is 157 102 high blood pressure?

Yes, 157/102 mm Hg is considered to be high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.

When blood pressure reaches this level, it puts a strain on your heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of serious health problems, such as:

- Heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

- Kidney failure.

- Vision loss.

- Blood vessel disease in your limbs.

If you have these or other risk factors for high blood pressure, such as being overweight, smoking, or having a family history of high blood pressure, it's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to lower it.**

Treatment for high blood pressure usually includes:

- Medications, such as diuretics, beta-blockers, or ACE inhibitors.

- Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise.

- Avoiding alcohol and smoking.

Your doctor will recommend a specific treatment plan based on your blood pressure level and individual needs.
