Everybody's blood pressure fluctuates widely. What's important are the average or usual numbers. Maybe just a little anxiety when you first take it. It looks like your BP is just fine.

The best way to tell would be to check your blood pressure several times a day at the same time for a week. That would give a better idea of what your blood pressure is doing.

Question 7

Hello,i am a 35 years woman.my blood pressure is 130/90.how to reduce it without medicines?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the reason for your blood pressure elevation. However, there are several things you can do. Idealize your weight, aerobic exercise-such as brisk walking for about 40 minutes daily and reduction of sodium (salt) in your diet. In some cases, reduction in dietary carbohydrate results in some further reduction as well as weight reduction. This may result in up to 15% reduction.

Question 8

Blood pressure was 130/70 and two days later checked it and it was 147/90. the morning after that it was 132/80. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

These signify prehypertension (defined as BP 130-140/80-90) for the most part.  They might signify a need for close f/u--90% of prehypertensives ultimately require meds.  The numbers might improve first with attention to weight loss as well as sodium/alcohol reduction and smoking cessation.  These are good strategies to avoid or at least delay a need for meds.

Question 9

My blood pressure is usually 115/83  first reading in morning to evening, by late night it spikes to 130/90 after work, again 115/83 next day.worried?

Accepted Answer

Hi, this sounds like a normal fluctuation in blood pressure and is nothing to worry about. Our blood pressure can go up in times of stress(work), exercise, after eating, and at times when we walk into a doctors office (white coat syndrome). The fluctuation tells me the system is working just fine.

Question 10

My blood pressure readings while standing varies from160/112 to 150/100, while lying down 124/86, while sitting 130/100 to 130/90, which is the most accurate?

Accepted Answer

The most likely is that when the BP is measured standing the center of the cuff is below heart level. For every inch below heart level can no will be higher by 2 mm Hg.   So 10 inches lower standing will be 20 mm higher. Especially if u use wrist device. Consult with us so we can watch you measure and see if this is a problem. Go to AHA.org and read how to take own BP.
