Question : is 128 over 8o bp good for a 52yr male i do exercise and im on 10mg of lipitor
Hi there.
Thank you for posting your question here.
A blood pressure of 120/80 is absolutely normal for a man of your age. Blood pressure is unlikely to be ever a problem for you in fact.
You sound like a very health conscientious person. Unless you have a bad family history of high cholesterol and early death from heart disease I would not bother with with Lipitor were I you. In my view the statins are away over prescribed. Genes are everything.
Hope this helped. Revert if I'm missing something. Otherwise please accept my answer.
Thank you.
