standard bp for female - #14091

Divya

I am trying to understand what the standard bp for female should be. Last week, I went to my doctor because I felt kinda dizzy and had this weird headache that just wouldn’t go away. They took my blood pressure and said it was high, but I was freaking out a bit. Like, I was in the office, and I had a million things swirling in my head! I’m only in my 30s, and it all just seemed a bit sudden. I thought high bp was more of an older person thing, you know? Anyway, the nurse mentioned that the standard bp for female might be different from what I thought. I had no idea what the actual numbers were supposed to be! I guess I’ve never really thought about it too much until now. I also heard that stress can really mess with your bp, and I’ve been dealing with a lot of work stuff lately. Does anyone know what the standard bp for female over my age generally is? Like, should I be worried about this? Is there a specific range I should be aiming for? I’m just trying to figure out if I need to change my lifestyle or if this was just a one-off thing. I feel kinda lost here and would love some insight from you guys about the standard bp for female in general. Like what should I keep an eye on and how can I manage it?
