I'm really confused about what the normal blood pressure value is supposed to be. I've read online that it's 12080, but then I've also heard from doctors that 14090 is normal, and some even say up to 160100 isn't a problem. I'm really anxious about this and just want to know what the actual normal range for blood pressure is.

I'm really worried about this stiffness in my left ventricle. What can I do to help it get better, and are there specific things I should avoid doing? Can it be cured? I'm not sure what steps to take, and it's a bit overwhelming. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Stiffness in the left ventricle can be managed with medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to reduce the heart rate and workload on the heart. In addition, diuretics like Furosemide may be used to reduce fluid buildup in the body. It is important to follow a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and avoid alcohol and tobacco which can worsen heart conditions. Regular exercise as recommended by your healthcare provider can help improve heart function. It is also important to manage stress and get an adequate amount of sleep to support heart health. Remember to take your medications as prescribed, attend regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider, and report any new or worsening symptoms promptly.

What is normal blood pressure by age?
In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.
