normal blood pressure for male 45 - #20911

Ishaan

I am a 45-year-old guy, and lately, I've been kinda concerned about my health, especially my blood pressure. I went to the doctor last week for a regular checkup and found out that my blood pressure was 135 over 85. The doc said that’s borderline high, but I've seen mixed opinions online about what’s considered a normal blood pressure for male 45. Like, is that range OK or should I be more worried? My dad had high blood pressure, and I just don’t want to end up going down that road. I’ve been trying to eat healthier and exercise more, but sometimes it feels like it’s not enough. What is a normal blood pressure for male 45—am I close or does that mean I need to do more? I mean, it’s kinda stressing me out, as I really want to keep things in check and live a healthy life. Should I be monitoring it at home? I’ve heard that sometimes stress can affect readings too, like if you’re worried at the doc’s office. What do you guys think about this? Should I be proactive, or is it just part of getting older? Any insights would be super helpful right now!
