How to Recognize Normal Versus High Blood Pressure
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been confused about what normal blood pressure is for me (or anyone). I know there is some debate on what normal is today, but let us say that normal is 120/80 mm Hg. Does this mean that 110/90 mm Hg, 130/70 mm Hg, or 150/50 mm Hg is also normal? Is there any significance of the ratio between systolic and diastolic blood pressure? -- L.P.
VENT BRIGHTER
ANSWER: Because so many people have high blood pressure, and the consequences of untreated or poorly treated high blood pressure include a risk for heart attacks and strokes, it’s critically important to understand this thoroughly.
For a young, healthy person, the lower the blood pressure, the lower the risk of blood vessel damage that leads to these dreaded complications of heart attack and stroke. I routinely see people with blood pressures of 90/60 mm Hg who are just fine (although they are a bit more likely to faint).
But for middle-aged and older people, we define blood pressure as normal when the systolic (first or top number) pressure is less than 120 mm Hg and the diastolic (the second or bottom number) is less than 80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is when the systolic pressure is between 120-129 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg. It’s considered hypertension when the systolic number is 130 mm Hg or greater, or the diastolic number is 80 mm Hg or greater. So, all of the readings you proposed are hypertension -- not just elevated blood pressure.
An thankful veteran

A special thank you to the individual who noticed I was a veteran and paid for my breakfast at McDonald’s last Saturday. Much appreciated.

Cheers to this long-standing club that makes our town so beautiful each and every year!
Thanks to all the great teachers!
Of course, the higher the reading (in general), the higher the risk of damage to the blood vessels and, after some years, the higher the risk of heart attacks or strokes. It’s not the ratio of the systolic and diastolic numbers that is of interest; it’s the difference between them (also called the pulse pressure). So, with the numbers you gave, the pulse pressures are 20, 60 and 100 mm Hg. Independent of blood pressure levels, a higher pulse pressure confers additional risk to the person, mostly because very stiff blood vessels cause a high pulse pressure. Different types of blood pressure medicines affect pulse pressure differently.
With the start of school and the anxieties of new surroundings, activities, and friends, it’s encouraging to see so many teachers display kindness and patience with our kids. Some people are quick to blame and judge, while the day to day encouragment that teachers dole out goes unnoticed. Please know that we parents and grandparents see you and appreciate you.
To the elderly man who verbally accosted me in the [local store] parking lot for leaving my shopping cart in a striped area in front of the handicapped space he was pulling into. I’ve read where handicapped people like the easier access to carts left there. Two older women were taking one of the carts left there to use. Think twice before berating someone you don’t know. I fell last year and tore my rotator cuff and then fell again last night in my basement and was in a lot of pain after shopping and loading my groceries into my trunk. I am eightyyears-old and a widow. What do you plan to do with the picture you took of my license plate?
Speak English
“This building has reached the end of its useful purpose” or “those with food insecurities.” Why do we have to change simple terms? How about, “this building is getting old, it needs remodeling?” How about, “people who struggle to put food on their tables?” Do speakers believe changing a term, like those examples, make them sound more intelligent? Simple, everyday terminology works better for all.
DEAR DR. ROACH: Is a platelet count of 135,000 low or in the normal range for a 76-year-old male in good health, with no signs of abnormal bruising or bleeding? -- P.R ANSWER: The normal range for a platelet count is 150,000-450,000 per microliter, so 135,000 is just below the lower limit of normal. However, it’s quite rare to have abnormal bleeding with a platelet count like this, even under stress like a surgical procedure.
About 2.5% of the healthy population will have a platelet count below 150,000, so a level of 135,000 may not represent any disease at all. Typically, the risk of spontaneous major bleeding becomes high when platelet levels drop below 30,000. The most common cause of low platelets in older adults is an immunemediated condition called “immune thrombocytopenia,” but there are many possible causes, including medications, bone marrow diseases, and liver disease. For a 76-year-old, if repeat blood counts show that the platelet count is stable in the 100,000 range, most experts would not do further testing in absence of any symptoms.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

How To Photograph Your Pet
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve been trying to take a picture of my cat “Jess” all summer long. But every photo looks terrible. Do you have any tips for taking good pictures of pets? -- Taylor H., Taos, New Mexico
DEAR TAYLOR: Patience and practice are your best friends when trying to get a great shot of your pet. Cats aren’t known for their tolerance of sitting in one pose for very long (especially when you’re trying to force them into a pose), and even well-trained dogs can’t stay in place too long.
Study the techniques of good photography; you can look them up online. Composition is more important than the device you’re using -- whether an expensive camera or your smartphone.Incorporate these guidelines into your pet photography:
-- Opportunity: Rather than posing your pet, photograph them in their daily lives.

-- Eye level: Position the camera lens at the same level as your pet’s eyes, rather than aiming down at them.
-- Focus: Make sure your device has a sharp focus on the pet’s eyes. If the auto focus has trouble doing so, try angling slightly to one side so their snout isn’t in the way.
--Natural light: Turn off the auto flash and rely on natural light, like sunlight or a warmly lit room. is keeps pets relaxed and gives a nice glow to the image.

Scarves were first worn by Ancient Egyptians, such as the infamous Queen Nefertiti, who used them as a head wrap. In the 17th century, higher-ranked Croatian soldiers wore silk scarves while the rest wore cotton ones. Famous music composer Ludwig Van Beethoven used to wear silk scarves.

Poor grip: Drivers may be able to feel certain tire problems, including poor grip, while driving.In such instances, tires may feel as though they are slipping. The tire experts at Firestone note that low tread can reduce tire traction and cause wheels to slip, which may be more noticeable when accelerating from a stop or driving on wet roads. Drivers who feel their tires are slipping can test the tread and replace tires that are low.
