female blood pressure range - #13022
I am really concerned about my recent doctor visit where my blood pressure readings were not what I expected. For a little background, I’m a 34-year-old female, relatively healthy, maybe a few pounds over but nothing too drastic. I started feeling super dizzy and brought it up to my doc, who measured my blood pressure and said it was a bit high, like 145/90. She mentioned this is above the normal female blood pressure range but didn’t explain it well. I’ve always thought my blood pressure was fine. I mean, I workout a few times a week and try to eat right. I even checked my blood pressure at home a few days later and it was around the same thing. Why is my blood pressure higher than what I thought was “normal”? Is there a specific female blood pressure range that I should be aiming for? Like what’s considered healthy? I can’t help but feel stressed about all this, especially since I’ve started experiencing more headaches more frequently. Should I be keeping a closer eye on my readings? If the female blood pressure range is different from males, like, what should I be actually looking out for? Just feeling overwhelmed and not sure what steps to take next. Any advice would be helpful!
