I'm trying to understand if a pulse pressure of 110 over 80 is considered normal for an adult, or if it's something I should be concerned about. Is that a low pulse pressure? And what steps can I take to maintain a healthy pulse pressure?

I'm really worried about my grandfather who's 76. He was hospitalized twice because his blood pressure went up to 200100. We have the ECG from when he was in the hospital and his prescription too. Since getting discharged, his blood pressure is fine during the day, but at night it gradually rises to somewhere between 16080 and 18090. Does the ECG indicate he's had a heart attack? Are the medications he's on appropriate?

If the ECG shows sinus rhythm with no signs of acute myocardial infarction. The medications prescribed are Amlodipine 5mg once daily and Atenolol 25mg once daily. These are appropriate medications for controlling high blood pressure. However, since your grandfather's blood pressure is still increasing during the night, a medication adjustment may be needed. I recommend consulting with the doctor who prescribed these medications to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage or adding another medication to better control his blood pressure during the night.
