130/90 is not considered as High Blood Pressure as far as I know.
“130/90 is not considered as High Blood Pressure as far as I know.”
It is right on the cusp/border line for most of us. Good doctors I have known, prefer for most of us to be below 90 with our diastolic.
Many good docs would not start treatment at that point unless there was a genetic history of stroke and other problems.
Stroke is about the only bad DNA in my gene pool. My docs after learning of the family history wanted mild treatment and baby aspirin daily.
From NIH. “The treatment goal for most adults is to get and keep blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg. For adults who have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, the goal is to get and keep blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg.”
