Is blood pressure 130 over 88 ok for a 59 yr old woman?

Answer 1

Yes, the average human blood pressure is 120/80. Women tend to be on the lower side while men tend to have slightly high blood pressures. At 58 years old it is common to have hypertension (or increased blood pressure) 106/70 is a good healthy blood pressure which would indicate a healthy cardiovascular system (in most cases).

Answer 2

No, it isn't too high in that age group. The top number of 130 is perfect for your age. That number is called "systolic" and although it is important, the lower figure - the diastolic - carries more significance.

The diastolic number is the measurement of the amount of pressure in your blood vessels while your heart is at rest. If the resting pressure is too high for too long, there will be health consequences such as heart problems, strokes and atherosclerosis.

At 90, its at the higher end of normal. People with a dyastolic pressure in that spectrum need to do things like getting their cholesterol checked, reducing the amount of salt and red meat in their diet, eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, doing a bit more exercise and learning relaxation techniques.

Answer 3

The standard adult blood pressure is 120/80. A lower number of 60 is a good indicator of low blood pressure, which while not as dangerous as high blood pressure, may cause dizziness.
