blood pressure questions

Take it at home when you're not anxious. I had a major anxiety attack years ago and they actually hooked me up to an EKG because everything was so high. Try to get a relaxed reading and go from there. If you smoke, stop. Within a few months of quitting smoking and drinking I saw my blood pressure go from elevated to optimal.

Talk to your Dr. Your body can over produce natural chemicals that will affect your heart and blood vessels. When this happens your Dr will treat your high blood pressure with a beta-blocker medication. It's very important to get on top of this ASAP. You are at high risk for a stroke or even worse.
I take METOPROLOL SUCCINATE 50mg once a day.

Alcohol binge will elevate your bp, especially your systolic. Anxiety of course will elevate as well but not for a consistent period of time unless you have chronic anxiety like me. Booze will create a false positive..
Don't drink for 30 days and your bp will plummet.
Avoid obsessing with your bp measure daily readings,, it will cause more anxiety.
Do not take corporate fuk medication, adjust your habits instead and relax.
Take care.

Best bp reading you'll get is in the morning and/or after a dump. High fiber will do that. Exercise is key as well. Get that systolic down.

Did they take it more than once? I had a situation once at the Drs. where they were breaking in a newbie nurse......she took my bp & said it was 180/110......twice. They asked me about meds & I said no, my bp has always been ok. The lead nurse then tried it again with a different wrap & it was around 125/80........they had too small of a wrap around my rather behemoth bicep.(
)
I also found that those little kiosk bp jobs are no good either........kept getting around a 160-165/95-100.........but only 130/82 @the Docs. office.
All the above will help......exercise.....eating right......basically all the stuff we've been told to do for years.

Lol, the little med assistants always throw on a standard cuff on a 19 inch arm. Omg he's going die!
Your bp isn't sky rocket, it's reacting to alcohol temp.. keep boozing and it'll stay up. Then you have to eat bp meds until u learn. We all booze but
Some point your body will say no more, up to you.
170 over 100 is a warning sign.
Bp meds u can't drink at all so pick your poison.

can they both be wrong!!!!!
Taking bp in close intervals throws off the numbers. Just get some rest, your bp will drop bigtime while you sleep. When you rise, drink a glass of water, take a piss (important) and take a reading off of your left arm. Tranquilo.
