average bp level for male - #15414
I am kinda worried about my blood pressure lately. I mean, I've always thought I was pretty healthy until a few weeks ago when I went for my annual check-up. The doctor said my average bp level for male was higher than what he expected, like 145/90 or something, and that just freaked me out a bit. I read somewhere that the average bp level for male should be around 120/80, right? I don’t know, maybe I’m just overthinking it. I don't have a family history of hypertension, but I do work long hours and my diet's not the best, lots of takeout and coffee. Oddly, I felt fine that morning, didn't have any headaches or anything! But now I can't shake off the worry. Should I be measuring my average bp level for male more regularly? Or maybe I just need to change my lifestyle a bit? I’m also not sure how much the stress from work impacts my bp. I’m really curious, what’s the average bp level for male that’s considered normal? Is there anything specific I should be looking out for? I hate the idea of just relying on meds if I can fix things myself, you know?
