Q: my blood pressure is150 over 90 is that normalor high? what does that mean?

Too high: Not an emergency but see your doc within the next few days. Many causes, some can be treated by diet, weight loss and exercise. Others will require med Rx. The rarer causes may actually be curable.

Q: blood pressure 149/79, is this high or normal? 34 female. this is recent measure.150/90 last year.

Top high, bottom OK.: Rule #1: make sure the cuff size is correct. If you have a really big arm &amp; the cuff is small, it will falsely elevate the numbers. Rule #2: Check for a series of 3 days or so. High BP can be genetic ie "essential," or due to obesity, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, adrenals, other meds - lots of possibilities. Needs work-up. Call doc if you get blurry vision, bad headache, chest pain, breathlessness.

Q: dear dr my age is 29 and my blood pressure level always high upto 130/95, what is your kind advice for me?

Blood pressure: You should be on a salt controlled diet like the dash diet and on a regular exercise program. If the BP continues to rise, then pharmacologic treatment would be indicated addditionally.

Q: 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?

: 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.

Q: why is it i can go days with perfect blood pressure, 115/70 hr 65 70 and then out of the blue my bp another day it's high 155/95 hr 90 to 100?

Some people have: Labile hypertension.I would suggest to get a BP cuff and monitor your BP once or twice daily and present these readings to your doctor.Another option is to wear a 24-48 hr BP monitor to get the big picture of how your BP behaves.Be sure to take in your BP cuff to the doc to check it against theirs.

Q: blood pressure was 160/110 then took it again 5 minutes layer it was 130/90. does this mean i have high blood pressure? wasn't anxious or in pain.

Likely not.: Hypertension formally requires repeated elevated measurements from being taken in a standard position. This is being seated with legs flat on the floor (uncrossed), waiting for at least 5 minutes, with an appropriately sized, properly calibrated cuff. If sporadically blood pressure measurements are elevated, would consider taking standard measurements as above randomly over a few weeks.

Q: my blood pressure is sometimes as high as 150/90 and sometimes normal?

Stage 1: It all depends on when you are taking your blood pressure. But strictly followin classification you would be considered to be in Stage 1 hypertension. For somone who is 33 I would recommend really getting this under control to avoid future problems. - Lifestyle modification - Healthy habits are key. Low salt, exercise

Question 1

Accepted Answer

Possibly: 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 2

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.
