my blood pressure readings have been in the range of 130/56 for 2 wks (pulse 58) however for the past 2 days it has been 132/46. I am 66 yrs old and female. I am taking crestor. 32 mg.
Should I be concerned?
If you are reading under 120 diastolic and under 80 systolic I would consider it quite normal. I am usually around 110 to 115 over 70 to 75 and thought it was a good reading.

On what do you base your opinion? How do you know what his/her BP was before the meds? How do you define "pre stages"?
According to what you're saying you are in the "pre-stages" of high blood pressure....just watch what you eat and you should be fine...but make sure you dont let it drop below 90/70...after that you may have low blood pressure which can be as much of a pain as high blood pressure
Sounds ideal to me. How do you feel?
