Watching Ur Bp

eh di underweight ka pala dati at 150 lbs. i think you are just fine weighing in at 172 lbs. your elevated bp is more stress-related than anything else. that means you should visit your favorite mp more often and relax.

Baseline blood pressures are different for every indivuals. There are persons whose normal blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg, and there are also those persons whose normal blood pressure is 150/90 mmHg. The blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg is noot always normal for every person. Just an info...

General rule at first is LIFESTYLE modification, like exercise and eating healthy. All the medication that you will take will amount to nothing if you don't at least control yourself and your diet. the best is to try to avoid salty food. Might want to read on (DASH) eating plan, recommend by most physicians and finally regular consults with you doctor.

Yes, this is true! let us take for instance with my father' s case, when he hits his bp to 140/90 mmhg, he is ok, since i have checked it. At first, takot na ako kasi ang baseline is 120/80 mmHg? I even ask him if he feels anything like dizziness or nanlalata, ok naman daw , i even have taken his bp twice to confirm nga yun (using aneriod sphygmomanometer) . he has not taken his med yet that time, so i urge him to take it already. am i doing the right thing?

I would like to ask if it normal na hindi marinig yung diastolic ng taong matataba kasi there are cases na pag matataba na kinukuhanan ko ng bp, minsan di ko marinig yung diastolic nila. Hindi naman maingay ang paligid pag kuha ko ng bp. Around five people na ganito case sa akin. Actually , yung dala kong aneroid sphymoma is calibrated, ok naman and regulator nya ok naman, ok naman tenga ko, in nag lilinis naman ng tenga ko hehe. At least once a week , linis tenga sa loob po ha hehe ( di daw advisable maglinis ng tenga daily). Anyway, tama ho ba ito? Thanks!

you mean you still hear korotkoff sounds even until the BP meter reads zero? systolic BP is the first korotkoff sound (or bp sound) you hear, diastolic BP is when you hear the last korotkoff sound (meaning at the pressure when you don't hear the sounds anymore)

Doc, hindi po ba yung first sound i hear is called systolic, ok narinig ko po iyon but then pag yung last sound na, hindi ko na po marinig, yes i believe yung last sound is called diastolic...

Doc, i would also like to know if how accurate is the wrist pulse reading in checking blood pressure, and how does the procedure go?

Is it also true na mas accurate po daw ang left hand kaysa sa right hand in taking the brachial pulse reading ng blood pressure kasi po mas malapit po ito sa heart, how true?

[kastanova]

doc, nag experience po ako for the past few days na bigla na lang po ako nahihilo and hingal po ako kahit di na strenous ginagawa ko sa bahay.

ano po kaya maganda medications to take.

Nowadys it isnt too bad to invest in an automatic sphygmomanometer because many people nowadays are silent-hypertensives. You won't even feel it but your blood pressure might just be above the recommended levels. Get yourselves checked ASAP

HI MTC members...

 

Recently I have my BP check and it showed that it is High according to the nurse.

Systolic = 130

Diastolic= 90

Then I monitored my BP since then and the Diastolic remains at 90 and sometimes it reached to 100.

 

I am just a bit confused since I am still young and regulary working out in gym, and we do not have a history of hypertension in the family...

 

Besides having an exercise for 15 mins everyday and having a healty diet and lifestyle what can we do to maintain our BP at normal level.

 

So for our MTC Doctors here, hope you can share your professional knowledge on what we should do or avoid.

 

For members who have hypertension, please share your ideas and personal experienced here. I think there are some members who are also interested in knowing what they can do to avoid hypertension.

Theres nothing to worry. Your BP is within the average tolerable limit. Its normal

Chillax.

You're very lucky you're not asymptomatic.

That's a warning sign already.

Don't take any meds but go see a cardiologist right away.

You might be a candidate for an angiogram.
