normal bp range according to age - #14471
I am kinda puzzled about my blood pressure lately. I’m in my late 30s, and I know that normal bp range according to age can change, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out what’s right for me. I went to the doctor like a week ago and my reading was 145/95, which I heard is high, but I also read that normal bp range according to age should be different for everyone. My mom had high blood pressure even younger than me, so I guess I'm freaking out a bit. I thought maybe stress was the cause since work has been chaotic, and I haven’t been sleeping well. I measured it a few times at home after that, and it’s been like 138/88 sometimes, but then other days it spikes up again. It’s really confusing trying to keep track of what’s considered a normal bp range according to age, especially when half the info online seems to contradict each other! Should I be worrying about this or can lifestyle changes help? I keep thinking if I should just monitor it daily, or maybe consult with another doctor about what the normal bp range according to age for me really should be. Anyone else been through this? What should I do next?
