Accepted Answer

Blood pressure is: subject to change. I am a psychiatrist and when my patients are upset - sometimes blood pressure can be quite elevated. I usually recheck it before they leave to ensure that it has gone back down

Question 3

do i need to take my blood pressure pill everyday even when my bp is 130/80 or even when it is below 140/80 or 120/80? please am confused about it.

Accepted Answer

Yes: In a person with hypertension, the reason blood pressure comes down to normal is because of taking the medication(s) regularly and as prescribed. If you don't take your meds your blood pressure would be higher on those days. If your blood pressure drops too low i.e. Below 90/60 and have symptoms such as dizziness, inform your doctor to consider decreasing your dose.

Question 4

blood pressure of 120/60 ok ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is a normal blood pressure.

Question 5

is 140/91 high for blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Simple answer is, yes.  That's not a value that's off the charts high ... But you definitely want to have it evaluated soon.  There was a landmark study published awhile back that showed that men with normal BP (&lt;120/80) lived roughly 7.2 years longer than men with high blood pressure.  Hope that helps &amp; Good luck!

Question 6

is a blood pressure of 140 normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal varies: Normal blood pressure (BP)  is up to 140/90 for most, and less than 130/80 for those with diabetes &kidney disease. Those with heart disease or high risk for heart disease may also benefit from lower bp's . Within the normal range, those with lower bp's seem to better than those with higher values, but we have no data supporting lowering BP within the normal range with meds. See your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: 140/83 is normal but the 140 is upper limits of normal.

Question 9

is a blood pressure of 120/90 high?

Accepted Answer

Symptomless disease: High blood pressure (BP) is a disease where the pressure in your arteries is too high, where the systolic is >140 or the diastolic is >90 (see my colleague's answer for an explanation of systolic and diastolic.) ideally the BP should be <130/80. High BP often is without symptoms but needs treatment to prevent heart disease & stroke. Untreated high BP can also lead to kidney disease and impotence.
