My dad is 77 under hypertension meds but recently still measures 150 in the mornings. In the afternoons it comes down sometimes. Is this a concern?
BP: Would not worry . As we age the compliance in the vessels decrease so it is harder to get it lower. Recent recommendations are for individuals older than 60 , if on treatment the goal should be 150 or less so your dad is doing fine .

I have pain in my shins when walking or standing for long periods of time It is even worse when wearing a one inch heel What is the cause ??
Shin Splints: It sounds like shin splints, which is a pain along the shin bone where the muscles pull against it. This is often due to a walking pattern that is abnormal, usually caused by a flat foot. Rest from exercise or heavy walking activity can help improve symptoms. If this doesn't work I recommend you see a podiatrist, who can evaluate your feet and legs and make an orthotic that can help. ...Read more
