blood pressure average range - #14860

Advika

I am kind of freaking out about my blood pressure average range lately. A few weeks ago, I started checking it at home because I'd been feeling a bit dizzy and tired a lot more than usual. The first few readings were like 145 over 90, which is way higher than I thought it should be. I've been trying to eat healthier and walk more, but it still feels like a roller coaster. I went to my doc, and they said my blood pressure average range should ideally be around 120/80, but I don’t really understand how that average works. Like, do they look at the highest reading, the lowest, or should I take more throughout the day to figure it out? I mean, sometimes my readings are ok, like 130 over 85, but then I get one at 150 over 95 the next day! What gives? Is there like a formula or something that helps figure out the blood pressure average range for someone like me? Also, how concerned should I really be about these fluctuations? They told me stress could be a factor, but honestly, isn’t everyone a little stressed sometimes? I kind of just need to know more about what to do next because this feels kinda scary and confusing!
