Dr. Mihai Radu Ionescu emphasizes that high blood pressure is a chronic issue with long-term risks. He notes that even seemingly normal readings can pose dangers over time. Many patients mistakenly believe that values like 14/7 are acceptable, but he argues that even slight elevations increase risk. Ionescu advocates for lifestyle changes rather than immediate medication, suggesting weight loss, exercise, and dietary adjustments to manage blood pressure. He recommends aiming for a blood pressure below 12/8 for optimal long-term health.
