Reader asks about ideal blood pressure values
Dr. Lamb explains normal may mean average and not optimal and that below 140 over 90 is typical but lower pressures link to fewer heart attacks and strokes. Weight loss and salt reduction are first steps before strong medicines, with 90/60 acceptable and 140/90 as upper normal.
