Описание: SENIORS, What's the Best Blood Pressure For Older Adults? (Know The TRUTH!) | Dr Sam

If you are over 60, the blood pressure number you’ve been told to aim for may not be the safest one for your body. Many seniors are still advised to push blood pressure as low as possible, but newer insights show that lower is not always better for older adults. In this video, Dr Sam explains the real truth about blood pressure targets after sixty, and why the same numbers used for younger adults can increase risks of dizziness, falls, stroke, kidney stress, and loss of independence in seniors.

You will learn:

• Why blood pressure behaves differently after age sixty
• The hidden dangers of chasing “perfect” low numbers
• How overly aggressive blood pressure control affects brain circulation
• Why some seniors feel weaker, dizzy, or unsteady at lower readings
• The safest blood pressure range for most older adults
• How morning and nighttime pressure changes raise stroke risk
• Warning signs your blood pressure is too low for your age
• Practical steps to stabilize pressure without harming your brain or balance

If you’ve ever felt lightheaded, weak, foggy, or unsteady while being told your blood pressure is “great,” this video will help you understand what your body is really telling you.
