Why is the rating for hypotension always dropping? |
I read that it used to your age plus 100 was the ideal blood pressure, so if you are aged 20 it would =120/? & if you are aged 65 it would = 165/?. My Mistake i meant to put 'HYPERTENSION' And not hypotension. I think the reason is that with continued research, they've found links to more long-term health effects in people with slightly higher blood pressure. They used to ignore slightly elevated blood pressure because they couldn't do anything about it, but now there are good treatments available, and those keeping it under control eliminates a whole host of problems later in life. its the same for cholesterol & blood sugar levels. I suppose they're seen as risk factors so the powers that be want to err on the side of caution & get everyone on the healthy diet thing. Of course, everyone knows that at soon as a food label has 'low fat'/low sugar etc on it you have to pay more....consumerism is good for the economy apparently. Not great for your confidence either is it? You think youre healthy, feel fine & then some guy in a white coat tells you you're a hypertensive diabetic with high cholesterol. But, if it stops me having a heart attack I guess I'll go with it. |
