Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the systolic pressure over 150 at 91 years of age is absolutely fine and normal.
Just continue your antihypertensive medication, prefer a salt-restricted diet, regular exercises are best to add on suggestions for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
