Yu Haiting hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Yesterday, I admitted a patient with hypertension. But just now, during the ward round, his family said the patient felt dizzy this morning; he was so woozy he couldn't even stand."
Du Heng became even more puzzled. Isn't dizziness a normal reaction for patients with high blood pressure?
Yu Haiting saw Du Heng's puzzled look, realized he hadn't explained himself well, and quickly clarified, "When the patient was admitted yesterday, his systolic blood pressure was 200mmHg and his diastolic pressure was 160mmHg..."
Before Yu Haiting could finish, Du Heng stood up in surprise.
He was a TCM doctor, true, but he knew the basic Western medicine data.
"I remember systolic pressure greater than 180 is considered severe hypertension, right? 200/160, how is he now?"
