Is the New Blood Pressure Number Right for You? | Oz Health 

10 years ago if you checked the guidelines it was there. It seems a bit harder now to find this on the internet. Hmmmm wonder why. But it has been true for many decades that it was normal and okay as you age your numbers go up. The only debate was how far up. One old doctors opinion was take you age and add that to 100 and that was considered what one can expect in the upper (systolic) number. It was only a "rule of thumb" as everyone is different. If you know or can find an old doctor please ask them. They will tell you. I have to disqualify myself here as I am not a doctor and I admit I don't know the whole truth but when I see this type of information being dished out it gives me pause for concern.

Thank you! I agree. Guidelines have been in place for many decades that say 120/80 is perfectly normal until you are older then expect 140/90 especially if you gain a little weight. Even higher if you're over 60 and it was considered okay. In my youth my resting blood pressure was always a perfect 120/80. What Dr. Oz is pushing is very dangerous and false narrative as far as I am concerned. And this change in standard has been gradual and that signals that it was systematic, planned, and deliberate. In 2021 it was 130/80 now 2 yrs later it is 120/80? And that's considered too high? I say BS.

You can be sure the pharmaceutical companies are behind this. Profits, profits, profits. That comes first. Not people.

@@tamilynn7218 same. Without my pills I would be much higher. But there’s nothing else wrong with me. I check twice a year thoroughly. Blood. X-rays. Urine. Everything.

What good is it

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA, Oz received his undergraduate degree from Harvard and a joint MD and MBA from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Wharton Business School. Dr. Oz has won ten Daytime Emmy® Awards for “The Dr. Oz Show” and is an Attending Physician at NY Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center. He still performs dozens of heart operations annually.

He has authored over 400 original publications, book chapters, and medical books, has received numerous patents, and still performs heart surgery. He also authors a newspaper column syndicated by Hearst in 175 markets internationally.

Since he believes in Trump, I have all kinds of respect for him. I’m sure he could care less if you just went away Biden Ebo.

That says more about you than him , and I’m sure he doesn’t mind someone so easily misled not listening to him anymore

Pax you mean
