Both hypertension and hypotension have effects on the body, but generally speaking, hypertension may be more serious, because hypertension will cause a series of complications, and often interact with diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases.

Hypertension is closely related to vascular elasticity. Due to arteriosclerosis, mainly atherosclerosis, the compliance of aorta is reduced, and the vascular pressure is too high, but it can't bounce back to normal, which eventually leads to an increase in systolic blood pressure. If left untreated for a long time, hypertension will cause cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or left ventricular hypertrophy, psychological failure and sudden death, which is more dangerous.

The incidence of hypertension is mainly the elderly. With the increase of age, the physical function of the elderly declines more obviously, and their awareness of health management is relatively weak. Chronic hypertension has a greater impact on their health.

Comparatively speaking, low blood pressure leads to organ ischemia and hypoxia, which often leads to dizziness and fatigue, and sometimes affects the efficiency of work and study, because when blood pressure is low, people will have memory loss and inattention. However, low blood pressure is still worthy of everyone's attention. If blood pressure is too low, people will also be in danger of wrestling and fracture due to fainting.

Therefore, both patients with hypotension and hypertension should pay attention to blood pressure management, monitor the fluctuation of blood pressure at any time with their own sphygmomanometer, and scientifically adjust their diet and living habits. Once abnormal blood pressure fluctuation is found, they should seek medical attention in time.
