Blood pressure varies with age and body composition. Although 120/80 mmHg is considered a standard normal value, it may not apply to all age groups. As a man ages, his normal blood pressure range may shift slightly. This article provides a clear chart that outlines average systolic and diastolic blood pressure values by age for men.

DeleteThis morning my resting blood pressure in the left arm was 239/79 with a pulse reading of 59, in my right arm it was 267/110 with a pulse of 62. I take a lot of meds to lower my bp, but it does not seem to do what I need to have done.

Check your potassium, get it as close to 5 mmol/L as you can. Keep a close eye to n your levels because hyperkalemia (high potassium) is dangerous.
DeleteConfused: just been to see my doctor, my BP was 122/83 I am 62 y/o and he has increased my medication from 5 to 10mg. Am I missing something
ReplyDeleteIn such a case you should ask. A good doctor should give appropriate answer to your question. There might some other reason behind increase in dose, might be some other test report....(just a possibility). You should never hesitate to ask your doctor.
