Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that at your age, the average rang of blood pressure would be recommendable at 140-145/90-95 mmHg.

Lower blood pressure values than the above mentioned would not be recommended at your age, because they would lead to low brain perfusion.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
