When to Discuss with a Doctor

• If you have conditions like heart failure, autonomic neuropathy, or take multiple BP-lowering meds.
• If readings vary widely or you have concerns.

For most people, 107/72 is a sign of good cardiovascular health. Maintain it with balanced diet, regular activity, stress management, and routine check-ups.
