normal bp of male - #14163
I am a bit worried about my blood pressure lately. I'm a 30-year-old male and have always thought that the normal bp of male should be around 120/80, right? But my recent check-up at the doctor found it to be 135/90. I’ve been feeling kind of dizzy sometimes and my family has a history of hypertension, so now I’m freaking out a little. I know stress could be a factor too since work has been nuts with deadlines. I’ve tried to eat better – cut down on the salt – and I've picked up jogging a bit, but I’m just not sure if that’s enough. I guess my main question is, is this normal bp of male really a cause for concern? Like, could it be a one-off thing or should I be freaking out and live in the doctor’s office? Also, can the normal bp of male vary a lot depending on the time of day or how active you are? Sometimes it feels like I have no clue what I should be thinking. I just want to know what you guys think! Any advice on how to manage this or if I need to take further tests?
