What Is The BP Range Required For Age 66?

Hi Doc. I was in the hospital for CHF in March and was doing some reading up on the subject. I don t like to take drugs which are chemicals that affect the mind and body, but the Doctor here in Thailand has me on 5 different drugs, which do affect me a lot. I know I have to strengthen my heart with exercise, but I was wondering what my BP should be for me at 66. Is there a firm number today as to what my BP should be? Thanks for your time, Jay Hebert.

Hey Jay, the ideal for you should be maintained below 135 /85 if diabetic or you have issues of kidney or less than 140/90 if none. Also CHF the cause is important and you should treat reversible cause should be addressed, many meds which are used for blood pressure control have heart strength ING action, best among them are beta blocker group and across ace inhibitors group, fine titration of all the meds would be required to minimise the side effects and optimisation of benefit.
