What is normal blood pressure by age?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.

View allI'm dealing with high blood pressure and taking amlodipine. My doctor also gave me sertraline because I mentioned I was having anxiety attacks, but I'm not sure if that's what they really are or if they're related to my hypertension. When these episodes happen, it feels like I have a noise in my head, like static or the sound of the sea, and I get a weird sensation like I'm bouncing on springs, even when I'm just sitting. It also occurs when I'm walking. Is this connected to my medications, or should I be concerned about something else?

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and I really need some guidance here. My dad, who's 57, was recently diagnosed with Calcification of Bicuspid Aortic Valve. The surgeon suggested going with a tissue valve, and we've looked at the upsides and downsides of both tissue and mechanical valves. But I'm still unsure and would love to hear your opinion. What do you think might be the best option for him considering his age and situation?

I'm feeling really concerned because for the last 23 days I've been having this chest pain on the left side. It spreads to my left hand and even down to my wrist. It feels like my chest is being squeezed, and at times it's like someone's poking me with a pin. The pain sometimes goes to my back too. About six months ago, I had this pain that felt like a mild heart attack. Do you think this could be something serious?
Chest pain, especially when radiating to the arm and back, could be a sign of a heart issue. Given your past experience, I strongly recommend that you seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any serious heart conditions.
