women's normal bp - #15406
I am really confused about what should be considered women's normal bp lately. I mean, my sister just went to the doctor, and they told her her blood pressure is high, but honestly, it was like 135/85. She's been feeling stressed, but is that really high for a woman her age, mid-30s? I remember reading somewhere that women’s normal bp can fluctuate, especially with age and different circumstances. I just turned 32 myself, and I check mine all the time. I had 120/80 at my last visit, which I thought was good, but now I’m not so sure what women's normal bp should be. Like, I feel worried it might change as I age. Is it true that women's normal bp could go up during certain times of the month too? Sometimes I feel like I'm overthinking this, but the whole idea of blood pressure seems so crucial, like I should really know more about what women’s normal bp is, right? It's just, my family has history of high blood pressure, and I want to be on top of this. How do I know when to be concerned? What’s a good range to look for? Should I keep tracking it obsessively or just relax and trust it’s fine?
