What is the normal blood pressure for a 55-year-old woman?

Nowadays, there are more and more people with "three highs" in society, and the group of people with hypertension is also growing larger and larger. Spring is here. Although the average temperature has become much warmer, the temperature difference between day and night is still quite significant. Therefore, the blood pressure of many people has become unstable, especially for women who are over 55 years old. How can you say that? The main reason is that most women of this age have just begun to enter menopause or have already gone through menopause.

The secretion of estrogen in their bodies will also decrease, the pressure on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase, and blood pressure will easily rise. In addition, the elasticity of blood vessels will gradually decrease with age, and the blood circulation system in the human body will also be affected to a certain extent, leading to unstable or even increased blood pressure.

For women over 55, what range should their blood pressure be maintained within?

Although everyone's blood pressure difference may be different, and there will be some differences in blood pressure difference with age and physical fitness, there is still a normal range. For women over 55 years old, if their systolic pressure is maintained between 100-139 and their diastolic pressure is maintained between 60-89, it is considered normal blood pressure. If blood pressure is controlled above 100/60 and below 120/80, it can be called normal blood pressure.

If the blood pressure enters the range of 120/80-139/89, it means that the blood pressure is at the long-term low value and can no longer rise. If it exceeds 139/89, it means that you have high blood pressure and you need to change your diet, reduce salt intake, and reduce the amount of sodium in the body. Usually, you should pay more attention to alleviating your anxiety and do some exercise to reduce the problem of high blood pressure.

If a woman is over 55 years old and her blood pressure exceeds 140/90, she must pay attention to the maintenance of her body. She must exercise her body regularly and never sit in one place for a long time. She must learn to promote the body's blood circulation to prevent blood pressure from rising again. If it exceeds 160/100, it may cause certain damage to the cardiovascular system.

Women at age 55 should do three things to control their blood pressure

If you find that your blood pressure is high, you must pay attention to it and try to stabilize your blood pressure. While cooperating with the doctor's treatment, you should also avoid eating foods that may increase your blood pressure in your daily life. For example, pickled foods. Many women of older age prefer to eat some pickled foods. In fact, this kind of food contains the most salt. After eating it, it always increases blood pressure and also affects the brittleness of the skin.

The second is that you can't stay up late often. Staying up late often is very harmful to women's health. It will not only accelerate the aging of the body, but also easily increase blood pressure. You must go to sleep before 11 o'clock at night, so that every organ in your body can get a good repair, and it also has a good help for blood circulation.

Finally, don't eat too much. It is recommended that you only eat until you are 70% full. If you eat too much, it will easily lead to the accumulation of fat in the body, increase blood viscosity, and easily increase blood pressure, and also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Too much fat deposited in the body can easily lead to obesity, and obesity may cause more than just high blood pressure.

After reading this article, I hope everyone can pay attention to controlling their blood pressure in daily life, especially women who are over 55 years old, and do not let blood pressure affect their health.
