sys mmhg normal range by age - #19084
I am really confused about what's considered the sys mmhg normal range by age because I’ve been feeling sort of off lately. Last week, I went to see my doctor for a routine check-up, and they took my blood pressure, which came out to be 150/95. I’m 32 years old and honestly, I thought that was super high. The doc mentioned something like the sys mmhg normal range by age is different, but didn’t really explain it well. I started reading up on it and saw some charts showing varying ranges depending on how old you are, which just makes things more complicated. Like, if the sys mmhg normal range by age for people in their 30s is around 120 and mine was 150, does this mean I should be worried? And what about my friend who's 40, their numbers are usually much lower. Should I be monitoring this more closely now? I didn’t have any symptoms besides mild headaches and some fatigue, but honestly feel worried. Can anyone help clarify this sys mmhg normal range by age thing because I just want to understand if I need to make any changes or maybe start medication?
