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.
Last 2 dr visits my blood pressure has been 140/80. Is this really bad? I m only in my late 20s and used to always have perfect blood pressure. Is it just from being nervous in dr office? also should I be concerned ?
It's not "bad". It's still in the range of what's considered "normal". I wouldn't worry too much. It can always help to eat a healthy diet and get a fair amount of exercise.
