Last time you had your blood pressure checked?

[Pain]

When was the last time you got checked and what were your results?

 

[Rocky]

I can't remember. Probably when I joined the force. Think it was ok. What does it mean that yours is high then?

 

[Pain]

# a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (see below), or
# an existing cardiovascular disease (see below), or
# diabetes, or
# damage to the heart or kidney (organ damage) due to high blood pressure.

 

[Rocky]

That's alright then.

What was your BP?

Edit, nevermind, i'm guessing you fit the one between 140-160/90-100

Was there anything that day which could have driven yours up?

 

[Pain]

152 - Systolic
74 - Diastolic

Only thing I can think of was my morning cardio, but that was 4 hours before I got it checked.

 

[Ironslave]

That's very odd, and yeah, a 152 systolic isn't good.

Were you dehydrated? In the meantime, I'd suggest taking more fish oils, and drinking more water.

 

[Pain]

It was only one reading, I'm not going to worry about it untill I get it checked again.

I'm always around 110/70 i'm checked 4 or 5 times a year, once for the anual medic check in my job and then every time i donate blood.

You better take care of that Pain.

2 weeks ago at the gym in Pensacola, I forget my systolic, something between 110-120 and my diastolic I always remember because its always crazy low, last time it was 52

 

[SerbMarko]

[Gumby51cm]

[Tonyk212000]

Prolly around 5 months ago and dont know what it was

 

[Maxmonzter]

last time i checked it was 120/70, but it has been as high as 140/90 when bulking

 

[Hypocrisy86]

I had one at the gym I was at. Before when I was pretty crook with low blood pressure I tried to continue weight training got someone to take my blood pressure after a set of 10 reps on squats and after 3 readings the highest was about 110/51 lol.

 

[Pain]

You kids and your health.

are u nervous when ure at the doc? ive always had a phobia against doctors and needles and such. so last time i measured i got mine measured to 150/75. so i relaxed alittle and calmed myself down and measured again and it was already down to 130/70.

also did u use any tobacco or coffee or something before u went in? both nicotine and caffeine narrows the blood vessels and can heighten it. on a positive note ur dystolic pressure is normal, and thats the most important thing ive been told, because the systolic pressure can vary alot depending on alot of different factors.

 

[Pain]

Wasn't nervous at all and I don't smoke. I had a cup of coffee an hour before I got checked. I'm going back tomorrow morning.

 

[Storm]

Pain you were a heavy coffee drinker weren't you?
