My blood pressure has been pretty high recently, and I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it. Are there certain foods or habits I should avoid to help get it under control? Like, how long would it typically take to see a difference if I make changes to my diet and lifestyle? Im really hoping to get it down in a matter of weeks if possible.

Q: I'm looking at my ECG report and it mentions a sinus rhythm along with a right axis deviation issue. Can you explain what this means for my heart? Is there something I should be concerned about or any steps I can take to address this?

I'm really confused about what the normal blood pressure value is supposed to be. I've read online that it's 12080, but then I've also heard from doctors that 14090 is normal, and some even say up to 160100 isn't a problem. I'm really anxious about this and just want to know what the actual normal range for blood pressure is.

It depends on age But. < or =14090 is ok
