healthy person bp level - #21661
I am really confused about blood pressure lately. I mean, I thought I was a healthy person, you know? I hit the gym like 4 times a week and eat pretty well. But last week, my doc said my blood pressure was a little elevated. I asked him what a healthy person bp level should be and he told me it should generally be around 120/80, but mine was 130/85. It was surprising because I always thought a healthy person bp level meant I shouldn’t really have to worry. I've noticed I've been feeling more stressed, and I even have these weird headaches that come and go. Could that be affecting my blood pressure? Like, does stress really play a big role? Also, is this 130/85 something I should be super worried about or is it kind of normal for a healthy person bp level? I just want to make sure I’m on top of my health. Is there anything specific I should be doing to lower these numbers? Should I consider cutting out some things from my diet? It feels so overwhelming because I really thought I was doing everything right. What does it mean if my levels fluctuate too? I’m starting to wonder if I really am as healthy as I thought I was. Thanks for any insight!
