Is a BP of 134/70 ok for a 70 year old female?

Thanks for the chart. I feel fine. Last year at my annual wellness check up my Dr said my old heart murmur was now "pronounced" and she sent me for an EKG. After more tests I was told I had severe aortic stenosis & needed a valve replacement. I had a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement on Dec 14. It was during my 1 month follow up that I learned my BP was 134/70. By the way I felt fine before the TAVR too. So this is all very new to me.

You might want to look into getting a home BP monitoring machine. They are not expensive and are very reliable.
My BP numbers are always 10 points or more higher in the doctor office than at home. I’ve been doing it long enough and the numbers are consistent enough that my doctor considers those to be more reliable than the numbers I get in his office.
