Situation:
My grandma experience mild stroke before, she is now on maintenance. We managed to maintain her bp to 120/70 for 5 months already.. but recently... her bp has been 160/100 for the past week which concerns me..she doesn't feel anything at all.. no stress, no headache.. My question.. why do you think she is having high bp? I think 160/100 is dangerous for a person who has experienced mild stroke.

Bro, I do not consider lowering their BP abruptly.

People over the age of 65 may feel dizzy, fall or pass out due to blood pressure that is suddenly too low.

Many doctors set a target of 140/95 mmHg, 150/90 mmHg, or 150/85 mmHg for older individuals. Murag normal nani as ilang idara.


Blood pressure medications should be started slowly in older people and increased gradually, to avoid any sudden drop in blood pressure levels.

In the very old, lower readings could mean good health, or they might also indicate that a patient’s heart isn’t pumping efficiently, while higher readings may mean robustness. So please maintain her meds, chillax lang. If she feels something not normal, then check up immediately.

Another thing, ayaw ug depend sa medication on getting her BP at an acceptable range.

Try these calculations. Take three BP readings, one in the morning, another at noon, and third at bedtime. Then get the median average. Dha ka magbase. Ayaw ug base sa morning, since morning readings are usually high.

Also, before going to sleep, boil water with onion, and mix with honey until syrupy xa. Give her 1-3 tablespoon of this. It helps stablizes her blood pressure.
