I'm 20 yrs. old, six foot 3 and weigh about 155 lbs. But for the past few months I've been getting these bad headaches. When I'm working, and it gets really hot, or I have to do a lot of bending over, my head will start to hurt very badly, and once I get one of those headaches, I'm pretty much doomed with it for the rest of the day, even if I take it easy once I'm done working.
I also get these headaches when I get really angry about something or if I pick up something heavy for too long. Working out in the gym or running does NOT help relieve the pain. Also, taking an 2 asprin pills or 2 ibuprofen pills DOES NO GOOD WHAT SO EVER. Even when I took a goody powder, it lessened the headache only, but didn't stop it.

It's only been a few months or so since I've started getting these headaches. Might I have high blood pressure despite my age and weight? (Most of my life when I'd get my BP checked it'd be about 110 over 70. 7 months ago it was 120 over 80 so it's gone up a little

I love salt! Potatoe chips, bacon, chicken noodle soup, cheez, shrimp... If someone told me I would never eat sweet again I would be fine, but take any of those away and I would cry. I even eat salt crystals like candy sometimes! I drink a ton of water, a few liters a day, I eat organic, no MSG or nitrates and nitrites, I have slightly elevated BP 125/75, I had a heart scan, the one where they take pictures from every side and it was fine. I know this has got to be bad for me, but I have no idea how to stop. HELP!

I'm a little bugged here and yes it makes my pressure rise :) But seriously here is the deal.

I'm up and about doing normal daily stuff. I stop sit down, feet flat on the floor relax for 2-3 minutes, take my pressure it is usually about 135-140 over 96-95. I know, by AMA standards this is high, but not so fast Okay, got that so far?

Now I go into my bedroom, at any time during day, lie flat on my back, meditate, breath steady for about 5 minutes or so, then take my reading. Now it is almost always 110-115 over 70-77.

So what is the verdict here. Am I a high blood pressure kinda guy or what?

I know, I know, it ranges, but what measurement type determines, high, or noormal. totally relaxed on one's back, or up and about doing normal daily tasks?

I went to the doctor because I have been having a horrible time sleeping. The nurse took my blood pressure and it measures 145/95. However, I am always super nervous while at the doctor. So upon pikcing up my meds, I purchased a blood pressure monitor at the pharmacy.

At home while relaxed it measures 128/84 and ranged up and down a little until I went to bed.

Upon waking, when I was just getting up, it measures 119/74, but after I ate, had half a cup of coffee it measures 136/88.

So since mine seems to vary so much, active up and about versus in bed and relaxed, how does one gauge whether or not it is high?

Thanks

I had blood work done a few weeks ago, and last week my doctor called to tell me that my cholesterol was a little high. It wasn't high enough to warrant medication, but it was high enough that it warranted discussion about ways to get it back down to a healthy level.
The two days prior to having my blood drawn I had been eating a lot of egg salad. I'm talking 2 out of 3 meals were egg salad sandwiches. I was wondering if this would have caused my results to be a little higher than usual.
I had meant to ask my doctor while I was in his office, but was more concerned with getting information about how to lower my cholesterol and forgot.

As summarized in FDA's 1998 rule and in the updated professional labeling for aspirin, the 100-plus-year-old drug has been shown to reduce the risk of the following medical problems:

stroke in those who have had a previous stroke or who have had a warning sign called a transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke)
heart attack in those who have had a previous heart attack or experience angina (chest pain)
death or complications from a heart attack if the drug is taken at the first signs of a heart attack
recurrent blockage for those who have had heart bypass surgery or other procedures to clear blocked arteries, such as balloon angioplasty or carotid endarterectomy.

Are you one of the many who take one asprin a day along side the common multi-vitamin?

What is your opinion on asprin and its affects on the heart?

For the last two weeks I feel like I have had pressure on my heart. Sometimes the pain goes to my left shoulder, then down to the hand. My arm aches a lot of the time. The doctor has checked my heart with a stethescope and said it's not beating irregularly. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, what was it? Thank you

My dad has high blood pressure and was prescribed some medication to lower it. He has to keep taking it for as long as his doctor tells him it's ok to stop but his medication (Tarka) is pretty expensive and sometimes he can't afford it so he just stops taking it. I worry that something might happen to him when he does this. Does anyone know where I can find Tarka for less (he currently pays $72 for a 30 day supply of Tarka 2/240mg) or do you know of a natural way to lower blood pressure?

Does anyone know how long you can live with 2 leaking heart valves when surgery is not an option? This is for someone who is overweight and in poor general health.

A year ago it was 7, now it's 6.4, my doctor told me I was 30% likely to have a heart attack in the next 10 years.
By taking a Symvastin pill, one every day for the rest of my life, it would reduce it to 10%. I'm 62 and still working.
He said it was my decision??
Is realise my diet has to change (yet again), and take more exercise, I'm prepared to do that.
Any advice is appreciated.

I am a 30 year-old female. Not overweight. No history of heart disease in family. Ex-smoker, ex-binge drinker in my 20's. Now lead healthy lifestyle.
Have weird pains in my chest or stomach. I am not sure which - kind of just where the bra sits under boobs. Dull, heavy pain.
Have had chest pains on and off for a year. Get clammy and panicky when the pains start.
Been to a few docs. Had numerous EKG's, thorough blood tests etc. Am apparently very healthy.
Every doc seems to think it is psychosomatic as I have previously suffered from quite severe anxiety/somatoform (hypochondria) disorders.
Maybe my response level panic is high, but the pain is REAL and quite annoying/scary as well as actually quite painful.
Do any other women get chest pains before your period? I am now monitoring to see if it usually happens around that time of the month or not?
Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? How worried should I be?
Don't advise me to go to a doc, because I am going next week.
