Hi Gordon,

I sounds like you are doing a great job taking care of yourself. Stick with it! Blood pressure recommendations do not change with age. The ideal is below 120/80 mm Hg. Here’s a link where you can learn a little more about high blood pressure levels - http://www.healthcentral.com/high-blood-pressure/treatment-000014_1-145.html.

All the best,
