men normal blood pressure - #20737
I am feeling really confused about my blood pressure lately. A couple of weeks ago, I went for a check-up, and the doctor mentioned that my readings were a bit high, which I thought was odd since I've always thought men normal blood pressure is supposed to be around 120/80, right? I mean, I've heard that over and over. Well, I’m 32, pretty active, eat healthy most of the time, but stress at work has been kinda high. Anyway, my last measurement was 135/85, and that freaked me out a bit! Is that a cause for concern for men normal blood pressure? I talked to some friends, and one said that momentary spikes are normal, others said it’s so important to keep a handle on it. Now, I’m wondering how often I should be checking it? Should I be worried about men normal blood pressure or is this a typical fluctuation? Been trying to stay relaxed, but the more I think about it, the more it spirals. Has anyone else had similar experiences around this age? Any tips on managing blood pressure or keeping it in range would be super helpful because I feel lost right now.
