Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that normal blood pressure for this age would be values below 135/85 mm Hg.

Too low blood pressure ( below 90/60 mm Hg) are also not recommended.

A single value of blood pressure is not a true indicator of blood pressure values.

That is why I would recommend a close monitoring of blood pressure values different times during the day ( in sitting position after 10 minutes of total relax).

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
