normal bp of men - #14184
I am really confused about what the normal bp of men is. Like, I went to the doc last week because I've been feeling kinda dizzy and a bit off, ya know? My buddy said it might be my blood pressure. When I got it checked, they said I was at 140/90, which seems kinda high, right? My dad has high blood pressure, but he’s older and not the healthiest. I'm just trying to figure out if 140/90 is totally out of whack for my age. I’m not even 30 yet and don’t want to end up like my dad with medications and stuff. I started checking my own bp at home, and sometimes it’s lower, like 130/85? Is that still considered within the range of normal bp of men? Should I be worried about this? I keep reading about normal bp of men, and it just adds to my stress because it feels like there’s so much conflicting info out there. Any thoughts on what I should do next? Like, should I be changing my diet or anything, or is a doc visit a must? I just wanna make sure I don’t end up in a bad situation. Thanks for any advice!
