Yesterday I had my blood pressure measured in one of those machines with the tight arm-cuff found in drugstores. I'd been walking briskly around the store before I used the machine.

I was shocked by the numbers! My systolic pressure was elevated, and my diastolic was VERY elevated! I waited a few minutes, then did it again and both numbers were PERFECTLY NORMAL. I asked a pharmacist how accurate the machine was, because this seemed weird, especially since only a month ago, I had my BP taken by my doctor and it, too, was normal.

The pharmacist said to sit for another minute and take a THIRD reading, then go with whatever 2 out of the 3 readings indicated. I did that, and the third reading was also normal. I felt very good about that. However....

I'm concerned whether my BP rises to dangerous levels when I'm exercising. It's great that it's normal and healthy when I'm sitting around doing nothing, but why was it so high, albeit TEMPORARILY, just from walking briskly in the store?

My husband had a blood chem check last oct and had a CPK of 167. This nov, he had another check and the result was 600+! What caused its sudden increase? Can it still be brought down to normal figures? Was anything damaged in his heart? I'm really bothered. Thanks in advance

i'm asking this for my husband, he's 28 years old, seems to be in fairly ok health, but at a routine physical he was told that his BP is 150 over 100, the doctor then did an EKG which came back abnormal, they plan to do another next week, in the mean time is there anything that we can do to try and naturally lower his BP??? he does have a family history of heart disease and high BP, we just thought that he was to young to have to worry about it yet

HI, I'm fifteen years old and for the past two days, I've had chest pain, just like there's a weight on my chest. I feel like there's a hole and I've had trouble taking a full deep breath, and then I panic. I also have pain when I press below my breasts and along my cleavage line. I'm kind of freaked out and I don't know if it's nothing or what.
