View allI'm a bit concerned about my dad, who's 72. His blood pressure is 100 over 60, and while he seems healthy and manages to walk around 3 to 4 kilometers each day, I'm wondering if there's anything I should be worried about or keep an eye on. Could you let me know if this needs any special attention?
Since your father is otherwise healthy and active, there may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly. To help raise his blood pressure, increasing his salt and fluid intake can be beneficial. Encouraging him to drink more water and consume salty foods in moderation can help elevate his blood pressure. In some cases, compression stockings can also be helpful. If his low blood pressure persists or if he experiences symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
