Could Being Underweight Lead To Abnormal Blood Pressure?
my man friend who is 70 years old has blood pressure reading of 150 over 105 is this normal,or what? He is underweight 6' tall and maybe weighs about 155 at the most. Lifts weights, and all that kind of thing each morning for about two hours a day. I am worried.

Being underweight will not affect the blood pressure to rise so much. At the mentioned pressure I will suggest him to start medication along with lifestyle changes
Telmisartan 40 mg with amlodipine 5 mg combination as once daily drug should suffice.
Low salt I'm diet and exercise recommended
