Learning notes

Explanation

ความดันโลหิตสูง is the standard noun used for high blood pressure in medical and health-related contexts. It consists of ความดัน “pressure,” โลหิต “blood,” and สูง “high.” โลหิต is a more clinical word for blood than the everyday เลือด. โรคความดันโลหิตสูง explicitly names hypertension as a disease. In everyday conversation, speakers often shorten the term to ความดันสูง. Its opposite, “low blood pressure,” is ความดันโลหิตต่ำ.

Usage

This term is common in medical appointments, health screenings, discussions of blood-pressure readings, medication or diet advice, and health information. Common patterns include เป็นความดันโลหิตสูง for having hypertension and มีความดันโลหิตสูง for having high blood pressure.

Caution

ความดันโลหิตสูง names the condition of high blood pressure; it does not mean a particular blood-pressure reading. To ask for the reading, say ความดันโลหิตเท่าไร, “What is the blood pressure?” The shortened ความดันสูง can simply mean “high pressure” outside a medical context, so the full term is clearer when context is uncertain.
