normal blood pressure for men by age - #13783
I am kinda worried about my dad's health. He’s 62 and every time he goes to the doctor he mentions his blood pressure is “a little high” but they never say exactly what “a little high” means. I started doing some research on what is normal blood pressure for men by age and came across a bunch of charts that just confused me more. Like, normal blood pressure for men by age seems to change so much, especially once they hit their 50s and 60s. Is there a specific range he should be aiming for at his age? Sometimes he says he feels dizzy, which freaks me out, but the doctor told him it’s probably just stress or something. I guess I get that, but I can't shake the feeling that I should be more worried about his blood pressure levels. I read somewhere that normal blood pressure for men by age also takes into account their overall health and activity level, but how can I figure out what those numbers should actually be?? I don’t want to sound dramatic but should I be pushing him to check this more or maybe even get a second opinion on his results? Like, are there critical signs I should be looking for?
