Is A Blood Pressure Level Of 137/75 A Concern?
Question: My husband is 70, and his blood pressure is 137/75 pulse 70 He is tired and we are at sea level on vacation. Is this ok.
Brief Answer:
Bp is fine for his age
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
A bp of >140/90 mm Hg is considered high. So the bp you are telling is fine enough for him.
Tiredness can have other reasons like electrolyte deficiency or Vit D deficiency which are very common in elderly.
So don't worry for now, drink a lot of water & enjoy your holidays.
If you have further queries, i will be happy to answer.
Thanks
