Although carpal tunnel syndrome is not a serious problem, if it is ignored for a long time, it may lead to nerve damage, blackening of the palms, and muscle necrosis.

　　High-risk groups: The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome is highest in occupations that require wrist force and repetitive movements. Computer operators, chefs, carpenters and artists are all at high risk for this disease. Statistics show female The incidence rate is higher than male , but given that men may only see a doctor when symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome become severe, some experts say the incidence in men is underestimated.

The blood pressure standards recommended by the World Health Organization are: normal adult systolic blood pressure should be less than or equal to 140mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure should be less than or equal to 90mmHg. Recent studies have shown that blood pressure of 140/90mmHg can also be harmful to health, so some experts recommend lowering the definition of normal blood pressure to 120/80mmHg.
