What is normal blood pressure by age?

Doctor 1

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.

I'm really concerned about my daughter's health. She's 30 and works in IT as a software engineer. Lately, she's been experiencing a lot of laziness, and I'm worried because she always has low blood pressure, less than 10070. Is this something we should be worried about, or can low BP just vary from person to person?

Low blood pressure (less than 10070 mmHg) can be normal for some individuals and may not cause any symptoms. However, if your daughter is experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or frequent laziness, it could be due to her low blood pressure or other underlying conditions. Its important to evaluate potential causes, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even the effects of a sedentary lifestyle associated with her IT job. Encouraging her to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and incorporate regular physical activity can help. If her symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and provide personalized advice.

I'm a bit worried and curious if taking too much blood pressure medication might cause an abnormal EKG. Could there be something else causing this, or is it really the medication?

yes. Stress and exercises are other factors.
