What Does My BP Reading Indicate?
Question: My bp is 121/89 is it too high? 72 year old female
Brief Answer:
No, it is not
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic. Thank you for your question. I read your query.
The normal, standardized from the worldwide population blood pressure figures are: systolic 100-130 mmHg and diastolic 60-89 mmHg. Even according to these figures, your blood pressure figures are within range.
I would add that the blood pressure may vary during a day, due to a lot of physiological or psychological mechanisms that happen to the healthy human body during a day. Therefore, even if you may experience higher than these figures some times, there is no need to be worried about.
I hope I was helpful with my answer. I am happy to help, if you have any follow-up questions.
Kind regards,
Dr. Meriton
