What Could Excess Welling In High Bp Elders Suggest?
My mothers blood pressure is 103/68 and her heart rate is 86. its normally a lot higher than this because she has high blood pressure. she is also very very swollen and her water pills are not working. im very concerned!! is it something i should be worried about or am i just over reacting?
The BP readings you mentioned are not even at upper bracket. Normal BP is 120/80 mmHg. So i would suggest you not to worry until or unless the values increase considerably.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing her good health.
