Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
Glad to see the caring attitude you have for your husband.
This BP is perfect at this age.
However, having a normal blood pressure doesn't mean that he is in perfect health.
To be sure get the following investigations:
1. Fasting Blood Sugar
2. Fasting Lipid Profile.
3. Hemoglobin
4. Liver and kidney function tests.
5. ECG.
If he has any medical issue you can discuss with me.
As far as your BP is concerned, his BP is perfect.
If you have any further query feel free to ask me.
Stay Healthy.
