Fouad Abiad Serious Condition

Might it be that they want him relatively high in this situation? I have no idea, thought just popped into my head. Say if you want good perfusion into organs. Someone here might know? 
I just know if someone loses weight quickly BP usually tanks, that was the case for me when I was in the hospital.

Sometimes they allow for "permissive hypertension" after a stroke. That's usually done at the direction of a neurologist for a specific timeframe and for specific types of strokes. I don't know if this situation would apply.

175/108, holy shit, and that's presumably on hospital BP meds.   

Probably erroneous.  He’s got big arms and may have been moving around which would impact the blood pressure readings.

Interesting, thanks.

I read one thing I thought was interesting, when early BP meds were used they put older folks quickly into what they thought were ideal BP ranges but mortality increased. The explanation was that older organs needed higher pressure to get blood perfusion. As I understand it BP increases with age and they may allow higher BP for older folks?

You might get different answers depending on who you ask. I think generally the BP will go up as arteries harden and stiffen with age. But older folks might not tolerate the meds as well. They get more light headedness or dizziness especially when standing. If they're frail or have other medical issues sometimes the side effects of medications have to be balanced against the quality of their remaining life. So, some doctors might give a little more leeway with the targeted BP range. But I think in that situation it is for quality of life and not to get more blood flow to the organs.

Ha ha that’s a good one 😀

The target range is now under 120/80 which is kind of bonkers.  If you have 115/85 you have "hypertension" and might qualify for meds, lol.

Meanwhile the average bodybuilder is at like 140/95 year round.
