Does anyone know the recommended blood pressure reading for a woman aged 80? The sites I've tried just go up to 64, as though after that you don't exist.
As I posted recently, I have a history of vasovagal syncope (fainting), and the doctor I saw after my recent episode thought it might be due to low blood pressure. I've been taking Losartan 25 mg every morning and Amliodipine 5 mg every evening since my nstemi attack three (?) years ago. She told me to stop the Amliodopine as a trial. So I haven't taken it for a week. I exercise regularly, walk, etc, am vegan...
Anyway, the websites all say 134/87 is ideal for someone of 64. My latest readings were 149/74 (2 days ago) and 138/82 (yesterday). The GP also measured standing BP -- for me 121/81 yesterday. I don't know whether to restart the Amliodipine. If it means 64 and over, my BP is a bit high.
