I always had low blood pressure too, 110/65, but it's now routinely 130/80, which seems a bit high to me and I was horrified when I went for my op and it was 150/95, but the nurse said it was normal for it to be raised before an operation, and it was very low afterwards. So what is a good blood pressure range for someone in their mid-late 50s and how do you keep it down - do things like deep breathing and relaxation help?

Sorry to you ladies with truly high blood pressure, but I don't really understand how it all works and would appreciate an explanation!
