BP for women - #12231
I am a bit stressed out about something that's been bothering me lately. I’m in my early 40s, and I just had my annual check-up, where they told me my BP is a bit higher than it should be for someone my age and especially for women. Like, they said it’s in the "pre-hypertension" range. I never thought much about my BP for women, you know? Most of my friends don’t even talk about it. I mean, like I kinda eat healthy, don’t smoke, and try to stay active, but the numbers aren’t great. Lately, I've been more tired than usual and I've noticed my heart racing sometimes, especially after I eat. Could it be related to the BP for women? I’m worried that this could lead to bigger issues down the road, like heart disease or something. I read somewhere that managing stress and diet could be key for women, but I’m not sure where to even start. Should I be tracking my BP more closely? How often is too often? It’s just overwhelming with everything else, like work and family. Anyone else feel this way or have tips about managing BP for women? I just want to know if I should be more concerned or taking it easy. Thanks for being here!
