Ideal blood pressure for 64 year old female?
Normal blood pressure for any adult is less then 120/80. Hypertension is any blood pressure over 140/90. Hypertension is not diagnosed with a single reading, however, as the diagnosis of hypertension is dependent on a persistence of high blood pressure. For this reason, hypertension is only diagnosed and treated if the blood pressure is elevated over 140/90 on three separate readings on three separate days.

Why should a person with only one kidney change their diet?
Kidneys clean blood, helps regulate blood pressure and fluid level in the body, also the developement of red blood cells. You need to limit and watch intake levels of certain things. One is sodium; it raises blood pressure and makes the body retain fluid. Two is potasium; it can effect pulse rate and blood pressure. Three is phosphorus; too much can steal calcium from your bones, making them weak and brittle. If you do not control these the sooner you will end up on Dialysis; having to go into a clinic three times a week to clean your blood and remove fluid from your body.
Hi Jeanne-the amount?
Hi Jeanne-the amount of blood pressure medications and the specific combination prescribed is based upon multiple factors. These include coexisting medical problems, other medications and potential interactions, severity of the high blood pressure, response to blood pressure medications, and side effects. Sometimes, several medications may be necessary to control high blood pressure-this might be because one medication didn't work well enough or perhaps due to a side effect or difficulty tolerating the medication. In your case, you are on three medications for blood pressure (labetalol, doxazoxin, amlodipine) and a diuretic (spironolactone). Diuretics are sometimes used for blood pressure, and the blood pressure medications you are taking are of three separate classes, which is appropriate, but I can't say much more about the specifics. Your doctor has chosen your specific combination of medications taking into consideration all the factors I mentioned above. The other medicines (Zettia, lexapro, and vitamin D), do not treat high blood pressure. Your doctor can explain his or her reasoning for the prescribed blood pressure regimen.
