Is 116 over 80 a good blood pressure for 51 year old female?

Answer 1

If I got that blood pressure in my Patient and she was "Fit"It would not alert me in any way as long as it did not drop below 90/60 and she was not complaining of being dizzy etc. 120/80 and below are good readings,however also too low could indicate problems in some people but not in others,So your answer is no,not in a fit 51 year old but a pulse reading at rest would indicate to me if she really were fit or not,but if her pulse is in the 60,s or lower,then we can surmise that she is indeed fit,if its higher than 80,she would need to be checked out by a cardiologist.

Answer 2

That is a perfectly normal pressure for anyone.Normal is between 115/75 to 120/80.Below 100 and over 140 is bad for systolic (top number) and below 60 or above 90 is bad for diastolic.

The objective of Antihypertensive treatment is to bring pressure below 140/90..and in some individuals (young,no evidence of organ damage due to pressure) drug treatment is not started until pressure reaches 160/100..only lifestyle advice is given.

Answer 3

A "good" blood pressure is regarded as 120/80.

Give or take some arguments in text books.

So yes, 116/80 is near on perfect.

Answer 4

Cardiologists like to see the bottom number (diastolic) below 80.

above 80 is in the prehypertension catergory.

Answer 5

The 90 should be 80 or below. Please work with your doctor to reduce this level. That will be primarily achieved with diet and exercise.

Answer 6

The systolic (110) is good, but the diastolic (80) is a touch high. Most medical professionals prefer to see it closer to 70.

Answer 7

That is actually a good BP.

Answer 8

Sounds good to me
