Question 1

It's 140 over 90 the blood pressure it normal to 39 yrs old women thx?

Accepted Answer

your BP is too high. Certainly not an emergency, However, you should see your doc in the near future so you can be evaluated and treated accordingly.

Question 2

I am 26 and having blood pressure 140/90 for last few days.please suggest what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Your BP is at the upper limit of normal - certainly not a cause for anxiety, but you're right to be thinking about how to lower it. Answer: if you're overweight, try to get to normal weight or, if not possible, then lose 10% of your current weight.  Avoid excess salt. Check your BP when you've rested 10-15 minutes and be sure the cuff is large enough for your size to avoid artifactual elevation.

Question 3

From 1month my blood pressure always remains 140/90 not taken any medicine ever for bp. is it ok?

Accepted Answer

Recommend you consult your physician, but the current recommendations are to treat BP of 140/90 or greater unless you are a high risk group ( diabetic or vascular disease). You might consider exercise, weight loss and low salt diet.  I would be ok with this bo for several months while you attempt these lifestyle modification efforts, but not much longerremember a normal bo is really 120/80 or less.

Question 4

I am 33 yr old today and the last time i check my blood pressure was 2 weeks ago. 140/90.  is this normal? if not what do i do?

Accepted Answer

This may be the beginning of high blood pressure but not until it is repeatedly proven to be at or above 140/90.Continue to check  it and record the numbers.When you have several, show them to your doctor.If it truly remains elevated, it must be addressed by your physician... Sooner than later.

Question 5

My blood pressure has been kinda low for me at 104/70  and 107/70. usually im pretty high at 135-140/90. this cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

If you can stand up for 5-10 minutes, walk around home and do not feel lightheadedness or feeling of dizziness, then having lower BP is good at your age. Make sure to get enough nutrition and hydration. If you are taking medicine for high blood pressure, it may be the time to revisit the issue with your clinical doctor. Hope it helps.

Question 6

Hi, i am 41, my blood pressure 140/90, dr ask me to use cardivask 5mg daily, but sometimes i forget, is there any other choice beside eat that? thanks

Accepted Answer

Is the medicine Norvasc (amlodipine) not cardiovasc? Discuss medication with your doctor.

Question 7

My blood pressure is 90/140?

Accepted Answer

Problem as your blood would be going backwards.  I assume you mean 140/90 which would be high enough to consider interventions ie weight loss exercise and consideration for medical management.

Question 8

Have had triple digit readings on blood pressure for over a year.  the lowest it has been ever is 140/90.  taking meds.  they don't seem to help.

Accepted Answer

Without more data such as the names of the medication you are on or have tried and their doses and the blood pressure numbers i would just have to say that if this was the best number you are getting it is time to try another approach. Perhaps a visit to a cardiologist or a second opinion is in order.

Question 9

Yesterday at check up my blood pressure was 140 over 90 . was very worked up before they read it. today it was 120 over 66. 24 yr old female. bad?

Accepted Answer

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 10

Is a blood pressure of around 140/90 really that bad that i need to take blood pressure pills or can i change my diet and lifestyle to help it go down?

Accepted Answer

dependent on your age and other health issues. If you have diabetes/other increased risk for heart/vascular disease, it is very important that your blood pressure be lower. Also, harder to normalize if you develop high blood pressure when young. But certainly optimizing your diet, weight, exercise patterns, alcohol and salt intake can be important. If you do all those things, you may avoid drugs.
