normal range of pressure - #19753
I am really worried about my blood pressure. Last week, I went to the doc for a routine check-up and they told me my readings were way off. I’ve always thought the normal range of pressure was supposed to be around 120/80, you know? But mine was 150/95! I mean, how did I get there? I haven’t felt any real symptoms other than a bit of dizziness on some days, nothing too severe. The doc said it could be stress or maybe my diet, which honestly has been kinda hit or miss lately. I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, but what does it mean for me? Could my lifestyle be bringing my blood pressure out of normal range of pressure, or do I need to start worrying about meds? I’ve read that sometimes readings can vary, but how much should I be concerned? I don’t want to ignore this, but I also don’t want to freak out if it’s just a phase. Are there any natural ways to get my numbers back into that normal range of pressure, like foods or routines? What have you all seen in your practice?? This feels a bit overwhelming. I really don't want to end up on some long-term medication if it can be managed better, ugh!
