Is Blood Pressure Of 145/53 Normal?
My mother's blood pressure is 145 over 53 is this OK? She is 87 years old. She went to the hospital yesterday with Vertigo, her blood pressure was 225 over 115, they gave her medicine for Vertigo and gave her Atenolol for blood pressure. She never goes to a Dr. unless she's sick.She weighs 145 and is 5' 3.

Hello ,
The blood pressure of 145 / 53 ls perfectly ok for her age . Do not worry about the lower pressure being 53 , It very common to have such reading at her age .
The blood pressure of 200 plus was surely high and you made a right choice of seeking doctors advice. Do continue with Aten and keep a tab on her blood pressure readings for the coming week.
Regards Dr. Mody
