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

Question

High pulse rate and normal or low blood pressure means in a diabetic patient who is using lisnopril 2?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

BP: 150/90 is elevated in a young woman. You should contact your doctor for a check up and evaluation

Answer 3

Maybe: Any strong odor -- particularly if it is offensive to you may increase your blood pressure. An allergic response to a volatile organic compound could in theory cause a lowering of blood pressure.

Answer 4

Yes: Noxious (foul) odors can trigger something called a vasovagal reflex and dramatically decrease blood pressure. By the same token, anything provoking a strong negative emotion can trigger an adrenaline-based response which will raise pressure.

Answer 5

No: No, but some BP meds called cacium antagonists can cause gum disease as a side effect. These meds include Norvasc ( amlodipine), Cardizem ( diltiazem), and verapamil.

Answer 6

Yes!: Blood pressure affects many aspects of your health and your oral health is no different. Other considerations of blood pressure affect on oral health and periodontal health is healing time, consideration of medications used to treat abnormal blood pressure, and potential use of vasoconstrictors in anesthesia used by your dentist. In other words, blood pressure has direct and indirect effects.

Answer 7

No: I din't think so, but others say i may be wrong.

Answer 8

Unlikely: There are all kinds of studies that attempt to link periodontal disease and systemic health. There is no direct cause and effect.

Answer 9

Speculation only: Periodontal disease can affect your overall health. However, there is no strong proof to indicate that a causal relationship exists.

Answer 10

Blood pressure: Cuff around arm listening at elbow with person sitting comfortably with arm at heart level. Automatic cuffs are available with readings made two to three times in a row as ideal. High blood pressure is greater than 140/90.

Answer 11

With a Sphygmo: So you take a device called a sphygmomenometer and inflate the cuff while listening to the blood flow just below the cuff. When you hear no sounds at all, that's enough. Now deflate the cuff slowly until you hear a whooshing sound (a karotkoff sound); that's the top number (systolic pressure). Keep deflating until the sounds go away again; that's the bottom number (diastolic pressure).

Answer 12

Buy a new one: Most of the time that is because the cuff is not working properly. If your blood pressure were to low for it to register, you probably would not be around to know that. I would replace the batteries and if it still does not register, try taking someone elses blood pressure with it.

Answer 13

Arrhythmia: It could mean that you are having an arrhythmia -- because the automated home BP machine is designed with a normal/regular rate and rhythm most commonly seen -.

Answer 14

Home Machine: You can get home blood pressure machines at many pharmacys and retail stores. Consult with your doctor about most appropriate machine for you. When you get a machine, take it to your doctors appointment and check your blood pressure as compared with the office measurement.
