What Does This BP Value Of 106/53 In An Elderly Person Indicate?
Question: If my dad has blood pressure of 106/53 and he is 81 years old that had a stroke 3 years ago is that blood pressure ok
Brief Answer:
Normal blood pressure for his age
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Actually it is a normal blood pressure, but it depends greatly what is his usual blood pressure, if his usual systolic blood pressure is more than 135 mm Hg, then it is low. But if he has no complains and there is no big difference from his usual blood pressure, it is normal, and there is nothing to be concerned.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
