Stop Aiming for 120/80 After 60 — Cardiologists Now Say THIS Is the Safer Number | Dr. Eric

For decades, adults have been told that 120/80 is the ideal blood pressure. But what if that target isn't the safest number once you reach your 60s, 70s, or 80s? In this eye-opening video, Dr. Eric explains why many cardiologists are rethinking traditional blood pressure targets for older adults and why a number considered "perfect" on paper may not always be ideal for an aging body. You'll learn: ✅ Where the 120/80 blood pressure standard originally came from ✅ How arteries naturally change after age 60 ✅ Why dizziness, brain fog, and fatigue may not be "just aging" ✅ The hidden danger of blood pressure that's too low ✅ What orthostatic hypotension is and why it matters ✅ The simple 5-minute blood pressure test you can perform at home ✅ Blood pressure target ranges commonly discussed for different age groups ✅ Three important questions to ask your doctor at your next appointment ✅ Why individualized treatment matters more than chasing a universal number Many older adults focus solely on the reading displayed during a clinic visit.
