Question 1

why one day i hit 180 on blood pressure and i felt normal?

Accepted Answer

HTN: Depends on the time you take your blood pressure. This would be ok in episodes of exercise for example. Weight lifting. I say this because you are 20.  
Feeling High blood pressure is not necessary symptomatic. People can have this for long periods of times without issues that is why it is so dangerous

Question 2

dear doctor
hi sir/mam
i have a problem regards blood pressure. i am only 18 years and i am suffer from 160 to 180 high blood pressure. i check my bp from 1 week and it is came between 160 to 180 and i have no strees or any type of pain ?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: That is an abnormal blood pressure for any age. You should see a physician for complete physical, labs and ekg. Would recommend restricting salt intake and increasing cardiovascular exercise. Continue to monitor, get the machine checked as well. Check for any family history of significant vascular medical problems.

Question 3

immediate home care for high blood pressure (180)? medication already taken.

Accepted Answer

Epsom salts: Take epsom salt - the one you can take orally mix 1 tablespoon with water - add lemon juice if you want to mask the taste keep drinking this every half hour until blood pressure comes down - this has magnesium make you have diarrhea but will relax the blood vessel wall and drop pressure quicker.

Question 4

what to do with high (140 to 180 at spikes) systolic blood pressure? diastolic always remains at 80-85. all possible body diagnosis shows i'm healthy.

Accepted Answer

Go see ur family doc: High blood pressure is not a good thing. 1st make sure BP cuff is accurate. In other words, bring your BP record &amp; cuff to next visit. Ask nurse to check BP w/their cuff and then yours w/o changing position (don't stand up in between). Check out DASH diet as evidence-based means to lower BP. Chat w/doc to consider other causes then drugs options to lower risk for stroke, kidney &amp; heart failure

Question 5

problem: seldom rise in blood pressure (180/100)  which sends me to the er .usually  i have blood pressure 125/83 (age 53).do i need drug to lower bp?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: Sounds as though you may. See your doctor for a full evaluation.

Question 6

have blood pressure 180/119 should i go to er been 3 days  or more dizzy

Accepted Answer

I : I would see your primary care provide immediately to evaluate your symptoms and blood pressure.  The dizziness could be caused by your high blood pressure.  You need medication to lower this since it can increase your risk for stroke.

Question 7

quick treatment for high blood pressure 180 over 100 67 years old?

Accepted Answer

See your MD: Lifestyle changes such as weight reduction, salt intake no more than 2gm a day is the first step. Monitor your BP in am and bedtime. Review with your doctor for possible medication.

Question 8

my husband age 42 has high blood pressure 180/115. his fingers, toes and heel are burning and tingling with pain? is this related to high blood pressure or something else? what can it be? he does have a lot of stress and also has anxiety often.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Although, elevated blood pressure can cause an array of symptoms in a person, burning/tingling/pain in the toes/fingers is less likely to be caused by it especially if it is chronically elevated at this level. Abrupt blood pressure elevations (so called hypertensive crises) may transiently cause some unpleasant sensations in the body primarily headaches etc. I'd look for other causes, neuropathy.

Question 9

does blood pressure of from 138 to 180 over 68 to 85 indicate a problem ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: See your doctor to get this under control.  It is not worth having a stroke when you could be ptotected.  
Try to write down your readings at different times so you can bring a record in when you see your doctor.

Question 10

is vision connected to blood pressure -- i.e. if i lower my blood pressure, might my vision improve ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually, unless: Your vision is only affected by extremely high blood pressure, when the effects of high BP affect the retinal vasculature ;/or optic nerve (malignant hypertension). Furthermore retinal blood vessels can be blocked causing loss of vision. Too low of BP usually causes people to feel faint ; pass out. Too low of BP has been thought to contribute to worsening of optic nerve blood flow. Goal bp: 115/70.
