I'm wondering if having a blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal or if it might be something I should be concerned about. I've been leading a pretty healthy lifestyle, but should I think about seeing a doctor?

Your blood pressure reading of 12060 is considered normal and falls within the healthy range. Since you have a healthy lifestyle, there is no immediate cause for concern. However, it's always a good idea to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or chest pain, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

I'm currently taking 50 mg of metoprolol succinate because I had high blood pressure around a month ago, with readings peaking at 150100. Lately, my 24-hour average blood pressure is about 11070, but every 5 to 6 days it suddenly spikes to 14090. Is this something normal, or should I think about adjusting my dose?
It's good to hear that your average blood pressure has improved with the current medication. Occasional spikes in blood pressure can happen despite treatment. In your case, since the spikes occur every 5 to 6 days, it may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider about potentially increasing the dose of metoprolol succinate to better control these spikes. An adjustment in dosage or adding another medication may be considered to maintain more stable blood pressure levels.

I'm really worried because he's been taking Stamlo 5 once a day, but lately, his blood pressure still seems really high, around 109 low and 180 high. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there something else we should be doing to help manage it?
I would recommend increasing the dosage of Stamlo to Stamlo 10 (Amlodipine 10mg) once a day to better control his blood pressure levels. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his healthcare provider for further guidance.
