Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Im 42 yrs old, 151 pounds, my height is 5'0 - I have a home blood pressure monitor and it read 109/90 I'm currently menstruating but I've also been diagnosed with high blood pressure in the past should I take it again and what should be normal. I lost the paper on how to read my pressure. 2nd reading was 112/89
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No need to take blood pressure medicine with this blood pressure reading. Normal systolic blood pressure is between 120-140 mmhg. Normal diastolic blood pressure is between 70-90 mmhg. So your both readings are withing normal range. Your diastolic blood pressure is at higher side of normal range. So better to avoid excessive salt intake. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling and swimming. Don't worry, you will be alright. No need fir antihypertensive at present. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
