Question: What would be considered "normal blood pressure" for age 87?
Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that normal blood pressure for this age would be values below 135/85 mm Hg.
Too low blood pressure ( below 90/60 mm Hg) are also not recommended.
A single value of blood pressure is not a true indicator of blood pressure values.
That is why I would recommend a close monitoring of blood pressure values different times during the day ( in sitting position after 10 minutes of total relax).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
