What's the best BLOOD PRESSURE for older adults?

[@kentmusgrove5038]

I measure my BP 3 times/day and record. I have done this for 8 months religiously. My BP started out at 163/102 and has since improved to 121/79 (avg). Currently, my BP is 120 systolic and 80 diastolic (+/- 5), and I highlight in RED when I exceed these numbers. I have had weeks when my BP was under 120/80 but occasionally have a week or two when my BP exceeded over 120/80 (average). I record my diet, my exercise, and any other factors which influence BP and can't determine why my BP exceeds 130/85 (occasional readings). My advice for reducing BP are: Don't smoke or stop Don't smoke pot (it induces bad habits which increase BP) Reduce weight. Reduce coffee consumption (it enhances stress - but doesn't seem to cause stress) Exercise daily and record. Do isometric exercises. Do breathing exercises (Dr. Story has great videos) Measure vitamin intake and uses supplements if necessary (Beet root, magnesium and potassium especially) Don't stress-out on silly issues. Find a relaxing hobby (I study philosophy) Get a pet (if it's relaxing) (I have 2 Golden Retriever) I just turned 72 and want to have a productive (calm) life until I'm 102.

Excellent advice! I would add go out in the sun and nature if possible, walking in sunshine, look at plants, trees, reduces stress, at least for me, and take sufficient vit D.

[@Luvlinedance]

My upper benchmark is the pre-2017 number: 140/90. If, under normal circumstances, my bp is between 120/80 & 140/90 (which taken at home it most often is), then I'm a happy camper. I figure if 140/90 was good enough then, it's good enough now. Thank you again, Dr. Story, for keeping us informed. Excellent video. ❤

I've known 3 people personally with that level of bp. All in their 60s. One ended up with AF, one got heart block, and one had a heart attack in my living room. So, to me, there is a lot more to all this than numbers on a machine!

[@Johnadams20760]

the fact that over time they go from add 100, to 150, to 140 to 130 to 120 to 119 etc.. this means that big pharma is trying to push blood pressure meds on people as much as possible to make money. and it is horrible becasue they do have side effects. but also, the number in and of itself is not the truly important thing. what is a nomral BP for (YOU) tha tis between you and your primary doctor. your body type everything. but also, it is only one of many things that are a risk for cardiovascular things. do you smoke, drink, do you get excercise or not? what is your triglicerides, hdl, ldl etc.. if literally everything esle is totally normal and your BP is a little bit higher, you are fine

[@tennbee679]

[@DChan-mz5tf]

I've been to a cardiologist for the past 2 years. The medical assistants always take my BP and it's usually 140-145/80. The doctor prescribed BP meds. I don't believe that meds are the first thing to take to treat. I found your videos and started eating beets. My readings went down and I showed my doctor 3 months of readings. At home, my readings are around 125-130/77. But when the medical assistants take my BP, it's when I have long sleeves on, my bladder is full in anticipation for a urine sample, they take it on my right arm and/or they won't let me lift my arm to a right angle. Then the doctor comes in and think I always have high BP. Thank you so much for your informative videos!

[@Tellyawhat4]

@DChan-mz5tf Yes, it's called White Coat syndrome--the anxiety of being in that setting naturally increases BP. Best is to invest in a home BP machine (inexpensive) and take readings yourself. Mine are consistently low at home. Today, it was 111/64 pulse 57. I'm 64. Also, don't take calcium supplements unless you're taking them with Vitamin D, K2 and magnesium. Best to get calcium through dark green veggies. 1500mg daily suffices. Otherwise, calcium lines your arteries and doesn't serve your bones. Higher BP is a sign of narrowing arteries. Stay well!

[@VintageVermilion]

I’ve been on BP meds since the mid 80’s. The goal post keeps getting moved further and further away from attainable. When I asked my PCP is it even logical to state that everyone no matter what their age be at the “new and improved “ ideal, I didn’t get an answer. No surprise.

[@derekjolly3680]

For myself I feel that with good diet and daily exercise, regular or average numbers under 119 or 79 are entirely doable. Certainly at my age which is 60. However, I feel at the same time that it's quite possibly about pushing the meds, and furthermore the altered numbers don't make sense. I mean 120/80, right, now I'm supposed to see that as a problem threshold? That the person in question who maintains that as an average BP is now unhealthy? Ridicules.

Another factor is 'apprehension/hypertension'. More than 'white coat syndrome', a daily feeling of worry about your B/P.

The insurance company is more accurate tbh. It's all about £££$$$. It's nonsense to believe the BP of a 20 yr old will be the same as someone 60. Also, someone 6feet 4 will not have same BP as someone 5 feet 2.

[@cm5896]

When my BP is below the mid 120s with diastolic of mid 70s or less, I start to get dizzy when I exert myself, sometimes to the point of almost passing out. 119 or less would definitely be pass out territory. So, when the new goal is to get below those numbers, I call BS. I would constantly by dizzy or passed out. On the other end of the spectrum, when my systolic bp is over approximately 139 combined with a diastolic in the mid 80s, I start to feel like a headache is imminent. Mid-140s over mid-80s almost guarantees a headache. I would say a good range for me based on my body telling me what is ok is a systolic of between 125 to 138 over diastolic of approximately 73 to 85. Male. 67 years old. 200 pounds.

No disrespect to Dr. Story, but this "one-size-fits-all" concept when it comes to what constitutes "normal" or healthy blood pressure is pure asininity! I, myself, am nearly 70 years of age. As where my blood pressure averaged 113/72 when I was in my 50s and early 60s, that's no longer the case as now, on average, my BP is 128/83. Would a reasonable person expect anything different? You don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to see that age, even in healthy "seniors" brings about change. Sad to say, the pharmaceutical companies have been "hell-bent" for decades on using this reality to drum up ways to profit off people in general, and not just the elderly.

[@robannmateja5000]

Thank you; I appreciate the time you take to make these videos and the information you shared. In addition to the organizations that you mentioned, there is also the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) which uses 140/90 as a blood pressure target. I've discussed this with my own PCP and have done a great deal of research into this area. The American College of Cardiologist (ACC) and AHA guidelines that you mentioned, which were published in 2017, are based upon a single (but long duration ) study called the SPRINT study. This study is not without controversy. Some of the areas of concern with this study are: (1) certain populations were excluded from the study; (2) the blood pressures were taken under highly controlled conditions which are totally impractical at a physician's office (automated oscillometric measurements in a very quite room, after a period of rest, with no clinician present) (3) did not account for adverse affects of aggressive blood pressure targets ; (4) excluded findings of higher kidney injury due to agressive targets, in addition to other concerns. For these reasons, my own PCP uses the AAFP guidelines and not the more aggressive ones, especially for older people (a category I fall into). So yes, there is a lot of confusion! I combine a rigorous exercise program, strict adherance to a DASH/Mediterranean diet with no ultra processed foods, stress management, BMI that puts me in the mildly thin category (so it is actually a bit below the "normal" BMI)- I feel great. I do take small dose of medication and hope to get off it someday. With HIIT exercise added to my routine of cardio and isometrics, I think that day might come as my bp is often good enough at home, at times, even for the ACC guidelines . :) It's always a bit higher in the doctor's office, but fortunately, she hasn't pushed more meds on me (I meet her targets in the office) and considers my home readings as data as well.

[@leprosy1978]

i actually agree with the new guidelines for blood pressure. Saying you should be on medication just because your blood pressure isnt under 120/80 is ridiculous, and overly prescribing was getting way out of hand. It made me never to trust my doctor and i felt doctors did this because they want to make more money off of prescribing. my blood pressure is 121/82. I'd never take medication for numbers like that, and I'd never listen to a doctor that would ever say I should be on them.

[@Mi11imani]

120/80 was the blood pressure ratio for people in the 20th century, who lived normal, balanced lives. Today, this blood pressure can probably be only found in 10-year-olds. We live in constant stress, non-stop war, poverty and recession and the only foods in the store are poisonous. We never stood a chance, and none of us will live to be 70 even. So vids like this are.... pointless. My blood pressure has been over 150/110 since I was in high school. I am alive. I am 50 years old almost. I feel OK. So? Sure, I know I will be dead soon, but who wouldn't?

What he does not tell you is that there is no fixed number on your BP during the day, and in fact it will vary from waking up to going to sleep. In my case it could be as much as 20 points from mornng till night. The other thing is what they call "white coat syndrome" which is the phenomonon of people's blood pressure reading higher when the visit the doctor, mostly because of the tension and pressure they feel when visiting your doctor. So your BP is NOT A FIXED NUMBER.

[@drdubious2432]

A Cochrane review in 2020 found that "For the general population of persons with elevated blood pressure the small benefits of trying to achieve a lower blood pressure target rather than a standard target (< or= 140/90 mm Hg) do not outweigh the harms. Further research is needed to see if some groups of patients would benefit or be harmed by lower targets." The drug companies make a lot of money on BP medicine though, so further research is very likely to "prove" benefits.

[@mariomenezes1153]

Best part that you did not actually get into is what defines "normal blood pressure". Understanding what blood pressure is key here. The heart is a pump trying to pump a certain volume of blood through miles of piping (blood vessels). Anyone familiar with a garden hose knows that you need additional pressure the longer the hose (let's forget rigidity for simplicity). Each extra pound adds miles of blood vessels. There are over 6 billion people on this earth of varying heights and weights. Expecting them all to have a blood pressure of 120/80 is ridiculous. Just like expecting a 4 foot 8 person weight 120 lb and a 7 foot 3 person weighing 300 lb to have the same blood pressure is ridiculous. BP is a useful marker to see if people are at risk of disease, especially metabolic disease. That is when you begin an investigation. If the person is not diabetic or you cannot find any other sign of illness, their BP is likely to be their normal BP regardless of the number. These numbers should be considered guidelines to investigate possible health issues and not as a number to prescribe drugs for.

Ridiculous. An 18 year old male is not the same as an 85 year old. 120/80.

They charge this as much as people diarrhea change their underwear. So it's a damn guess?

I am 74, weigh 160 and 5 feet 9 inches tall. My blood pressure at home is 120/70. I can get that down to 111/58 by hyperventilating. My doctor is determined to raise my dose of losartan above 50 mg twice a day. He put me on HTCZ when, if anything, I was dehydrated. I couldn't take it for more than 4 days because of right side back pain that subsided 7 days after I stopped taking it. This drive for blood pressure numbers reminds me of the phrase "the operation was a success but the patient died."

One thing to add: I just got the results of an echocardiogram. I must have passed despite a mitral valve prolapse because the next echocardiogram is scheduled two years from now. I don't take the doctor's statins. Anyone want some free rovastatin? Berberine, K2 and nattokinase work better for me.
