A member asked:
Went to donate blood and my bp was 150/84 the nurse said not to worry about the 150 which seems high as the 84 is within range?

See your doctor: Even if a reading of 150 systolic pressure was not a contraindication to donating blood it is not a healthy level and you should consult your doctor for an evaluation and may be treatment. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
