I went for my physical on the 15th, they didnt say anything up front just is it normal all the time. But nothing about the numbers, I know they say normal is 120/70 or some say 100 plus your age (within 10) for either is normal.
I got my blood preassure done, and it was 157 (167 cant remember) over 99. Which is high not real high but high.

that is pretty high. i, on the other hand, have been battling with low blood pressure (somewhere in the 90's over 65) however, they said this is on the very low end of normal but i have to be careful that it doesn't go any lower.
there are lots of treatments for people who have high blood pressure, because it is so common but not much help for those of us who have low blood pressure.

13 years ago when I was pregnant with my son my doctor told me every time I went in that my blood pressure was perfect. 7 years later when I was pregnant with my daughter I was told it was high, but not too bad. I don't remember the exact number but it was around the 150-160 range and the bottom number was around 100 I think. I have not had it tested in awhile, but I am sure it has not gotten any better.

I have the opposite problem the last time I check mine my blood pressure was too low , I try doing more work out whenever I remember to get my pressure to rise .
If you have high blood pressure do work out as much as you can , I dont know much about the numbers .

It is not good for people to get high blood pressure, because this is something that can have a dramatic effect on your overall health if you don't learn how to take care of it. One of the things that can contribute the most towards having a high blood pressure is being under stress. If you feel that this is one of the reasons that you have a problem, then you should start thinking of the things that you could do on a daily basis which would help you to relax. Things such as exercising or taking a long bath could both have the effect that you need.

I have high blood pressure... it runs in my family so I have been on meds for a couple of years. Make sure you monitor it to make sure yours isn't high all the time. Maybe it was just high because you were at the doctor, I know that happens to a lot of people.Its not something to ignore at all.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i think that's a huge number and even if u say that it is not real high blood pressure but a blood pressure is a blood pressure and u cannot neglect it at all. Even low blood pressure is not good for our health. I think u have to work out on a lot of things and for that please do refer to a good doctor and a nutritionist who can help u what to follow and what to avoid to get back a healthy life.
What say?
