normal blood pressure for a woman - #15293

Reyansh

I am really confused about what is considered normal blood pressure for a woman. I've always thought mine was okay, but lately, I've been getting these readings that worry me. For a month now, I've been feeling this tightness in my chest and occasional dizziness. I started checking my blood pressure at home, and honestly, it's jumped around a lot. One minute it's 130/85 and a few days later, it's shot up to 145/90. I called my doctor and they mentioned something about normal blood pressure for a woman being around 120/80, but is that really the case? Like, could that change based on factors like age or weight? I mean, I'm only in my mid-30s and thought I was pretty healthy, but this whole thing has me questioning everything. I'm worried that I'm going to have to change my diet or get medication or something! How do I know what my normal blood pressure for a woman should be? And when should I be seriously concerned? I don't want to freak out but this tightness just won’t go away. Should I keep monitoring it? What if it just stays high all the time?
