Blood pressure and cognitive functioning among independent elderly
Just thought I’d throw a little wrench in the works for the idea that the lower the BP the better. I can tell you that from experiences in my office, not all patients feel better when their BP drops to “normal” of 120/80. It is not unusual for these patients to feel disoriented and unsteady at this BP.
