I'll : Give you a solid b. You can do better. Lets shoot for 120/60. Diet, exercise, sodium restriction.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Are you: Having any problems/symptoms? Are you on any meds? This blood pressure reading, was it with an automatic machine? Wrist? Arm cuff? There are many factors to consider, including what your usual blood pressure is. Please discuss with your doctor asap.

Question 3

my blood pressure is 90/140?

Accepted Answer

That is a big: 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 4

my blood pressure is 126/65?

Accepted Answer

Good: That's normal blood pressure.

Question 5

my blood pressure is 232/164?

Accepted Answer

Dangerous BP #: These numbers put your mean arterial pressure at 186, which is WAY higher than the &gt; 150 mark for acute stroke risk.  I hope you took the previous advice and called 911, as this is a medical emergency.  With these numbers, the risk of stroke in the here and now is real.

Question 6

my blood pressure is high 229/10 why?

Accepted Answer

See answer: The numbers you have in the question are mostly impossible (especially the 10 on the bottom-diastolic), however, if your bp, is 229 you are in an emergent BP category and are at risk for stroke and other complications.  Seek medical attention at the emergency dept for "emergent bp"  best wishes.

Question 7

my blood pressure is 172/97 is it ok?

Accepted Answer

No: Your blood pressure is too high. You are at higher risk for complications such as stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and retinal vascular disease. I recommend that you call your doctor ; make an appointment. He/she should be able to get you in right away with blood pressure like this. Good luck.

Question 8

my blood pressure is 102/69 is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as you are not on blood pressure meds, it is fine. If you are on these meds, speak with your doctor about reducing the dose.

Question 9

my blood pressure is 141/66. is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Little high: Normal BP is 130/80, high 140/90. In between is high normal. Lifestyle changes including exercise, salt restriction dash diet should help.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

A little: The top number (systolic) is a bit high if that is consistent. Take it at different times of the day for a while. If it stays that high on average, see your doc - easily treated if need be!  Be well!
