A member asked:
I am 34 smoker and a bit overweight. i have blood pressure 14.5/9 since my hb went to 135 while measured by dr. i am usually worried a lot at clinic?

Unsure what it means: BP is in mm mercury and would be 145/90, not 14.5/9, and this is borderline. Hemoglobin in the us is given in grams per deciliter, and is usually 12-15 grams/dl, so am not sure if you mean 13.5 grams, which wouldn't have anything to do with your blood pressure. This blood pressure (if its 145/90) is not dangerous, and i would recommend reducing salt in your diet and trying to lose some weight.
