BP for women - #12230

Aasha

I am really concerned about my blood pressure lately. Like, I never thought I had issues until I went for a routine check-up and my doc said my BP for women is higher than normal. I'm 35 and generally active, but I’ve been feeling super stressed with work and personal stuff. Weirdly, I see those infographics about BP for women and how it can change so much with age or lifestyle. Starting to wonder if my diet is contributing too cause I might be snacking on too much junk. I mean, sometimes I just feel like there's all this pressure to keep it together, ya know? Last week it was 130/85, and I heard that's not great for a young woman. Should I worry about changes in BP for women with different phases of life? Also, I keep thinking about what I could do to improve it – exercise more, try meditation, or maybe cut down on salt? Anyone else felt this way or dealt with having high BP for women? Would love to know how to manage it better or if there are any good tips to keep it in check – I really don’t wanna end up on medication if I can avoid it!
