Is there a certain age at which BP diminishes?
Bell: Not that I’m aware of. Hopefully, with experience, you get better at taking care of yourself and your episodes will become less frequent, less intense and shorter. Hallowell: As you get older, the symptoms can mellow out, but I wouldn’t wait for Father Time to take care of this. It’s very important that you have care from a good doctor. He or she can help you manage your symptoms — regardless of severity.
