Your blood pressure has never been high, why is it higher now?

Increasing blood pressure levels is common in older adults. The network of blood vessels changes with age. Your arteries get stiffer causing blood pressure to go up. This can be true even for people who have heart-healthy habits and feel just fine. It is a good time to keep up with medical appointments and any prescribed medications to prevent complications.
