bp limit for male - #20735

Swara

I am really confused about the whole bp limit for male thing. Like, I went for my annual check-up last week, and the doc told me my blood pressure was 140/90, which I thought was okay. But then he started talking about the bp limit for male and how anything over 130/80 is borderline high. I mean, what does that even mean? I've always thought I was pretty healthy, but now I'm worried! Three moths ago, I was totally fine, no symptoms or anything. Lately, I’ve been feeling kinda dizzy and a little short of breath sometimes, but I just brushed it off as stress from work. Now I'm wondering if this bp limit for male is really something I should take seriously. Should I change my diet? More exercise? I'm not even sure where to start looking into this — does anyone know what the ideal bp limit for male really is? I’m looking online, but there’s just too much info out there, and it gets overwhelming. Also, does anyone else feel like they're not sure what normal should be? I just want to make sure I’m not gonna drop dead from this or something. Could someone break it down for me? Any advice or insights about the bp limit for male would be super helpful!
