Patient's question:
Patient is a female, 45 years old, with no family history of genetic diseases. A few days ago, while doing household chores, she suddenly felt dizzy and felt better after sitting down and resting for a while. Because she is slightly overweight, her family considered whether it could be due to high blood pressure. The measured blood pressure was 140/80. Is this normal? What is the normal range for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The blood pressure value determined based on your age is 140/80 mmHg, which falls within the normal range. Normal blood pressure is 90-120 mmHg for systolic pressure and 60-90 mmHg for diastolic pressure. As age increases, blood pressure values may appropriately rise to normal physiological levels. It is recommended that you undergo health checks twice a year to assess the health status of your body and adjust and treat accordingly.
