For an elderly adult, a blood pressure reading above 140/90 is considered high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is above this reading, then your doctor will explain the variety of options available to you to help reduce your hypertension. To start, a healthy diet, exercise, and quitting smoking can start to help you avoid further cardiovascular issues.
