Is a blood pressure of 137 over 73 and pulse OK Age 64?

Normal blood pressure for adults 65 years and older:

* Systolic blood pressure: Between 120 to 129 mmHg is normal, 130 to 139 mmHg is considered prehypertension, and 140 mmHg and above is considered high blood pressure.

* Diastolic blood pressure: Less than 80 mmHg is normal.

Heart rate (pulse): A normal resting heart rate for adults is usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm)

With the information provided:

- Systolic blood pressure of 137: Your systolic blood pressure is slightly above the recommended range for your age group, but it's not considered to be high blood pressure yet.

- Diastolic blood pressure of 73: Your diastolic blood pressure is within the recommended range for your age group.

- Pulse: Unfortunately, you did not provide your pulse information, so I can't assess whether it's within a healthy range.

Given your slightly elevated systolic blood pressure, it is important to make healthy lifestyle changes, such as:

- Maintaining a healthy weight.

- Getting regular exercise (aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week).

- Eating a healthy diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

- Limiting your intake of sodium (salt)

- Quitting smoking.

- Reducing your intake of alcohol.

- Managing stress.
