Q: hi. i recently came across a study saying that rocking chairs raised blood pressure in hypotensive elderly patients. however, i'm young and prehypertensive sometimes. is regularly rocking safe for me?

You&#x27;ll be fine: Stop worrying. I&#x27;ve seen the health claims for rocking chairs, and that rocking raises blood pressure in non-hypertensives. So will anything that increases heart rate / involves the slightest exertion, and probably most things that don&#x27;t. &quot;hypotension&quot; isn&#x27;t a problem unless you&#x27;re obviously seriously sick; BP need be no higher than needed to get blood to the body. Stop troubling yourself.

Q: i have hi-blood pressure i was just diagnosed with gout. i take atenolol 50mg, enalapril 2.5 mg, and indapamide 50mg. indapamide raised my uric.?

Q: how high should your blood pressure raise after exercise-in terms of systolic and diastolic values? e.g is 127/74 before and 150/101 a normal increase after walking up and down a 16 inch step?

Check with a local physician if that is the case. Otherwise, you should keep doing what you do. Exercise and eat healthy.
