Is blood pressure of 138/80 high? doc took it this morning but wasnt concerned
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs to be repeated: It is mildly elevated, and would need to be rechecked to see if it is a trend. If it continues to be elevated, then would need to pursue treatment - may include dietary change/exercise/weight loss regimen or may also include medications. Untreated elevated blood pressure may cause strain/damage on organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys.
