Systolic blood pressure (SBP) up to 150 mm Hg is fine at 60 years of age. But SBP above 150 mm Hg is abnormally high. Normal range is 120 – 140 (systolic)/60 – 90 (diastolic) mm Hg. In most people, systolic blood pressure rises steadily with age due to increasing stiffness of arteries. Constantly high BP is a bigger headache than taking medicines. Constantly high BP predisposes to various cardiovascular complications which might be life threatening. So do not ignore high BP. Advice 1. Continue prescribed medicines as suggested by doctor 2.
