Answer 3

169 over 95 is high enough to warrant concern. There are times when blood pressure will rise but not remain there. If your pressure remains at this level for an extended amount of time you should see a doctor. A doctor can look at the whole picture and prescribe a course of treatment. Bottom line - see a doctor.
I wish you the best.

Answer 4

Actually yes it is . The 169 needs to atleast come down in the 120 to 130 range. The 95 is getting to close to 100. If you have High Blood Pressure then chances are your heart is having to work harder. I have high BP and am on medication for it daily. With the meds. though it is controled. Mine will still go up even then if I get real upset, stressed out, or when I get sick--such as cold,broncitis,asthma attach, or have a little chest congestion. If this pressure is a everyday BP then I would suggest seeing your doctor he will want to monitor your BP. It took my trying 4 different BP meds. to get 1 that worked for me, I feel better so its worth it. Take care of it now before other problems start to occur. Good Luck and stay healthy. Control it while you can. You know as we get older our health starts going down anyway.

Answer 5

This blood pressure is on the high side. It is higher than most doctors would want it to be. The top number (systole) should be 130 and the bottom number (diastole) should be 80. The bottom number is what concerns the doctors the most. This is considered normal range. Anything above this range is considered to be hypertension, a very serious condition that affects millions of people. You should see your doctor as soon as possible because high blood pressure can be very dangerous or even deadly.

Answer 6

It's high right now, I don't know your background history, anything can cause a blood pressure to spike. in order to be classified as hypertension you have to have 3 consecutive Dr. visits with an above average blood pressure, unless of course you have preexisting conditions such as diabetes, stroke in the family, heart disease etc. Sometimes certain meds can cause your blood pressure to temporarily spike like that, smoking, and some infections such as urinary complications. Don't freak out just get checked out by your MD, where was the test performed anyway. Sometimes the ones in the stores are very inaccurate. The best blood pressure is the manual.

Answer 7

Yes, but you should almost think of them separately. The blood pressure is a little high, and over the long haul that kind of elevation can take its toll. But we're not talking about the long haul. We're talking about chest pain right now. That could be very serious or nothing at all, and there's no way to know on the YA site. We'd hope he's being reasonable about it.

Answer 8

120/70 is considered the "norm". 140/90 or anything higher is considered hypertension (high blood pressure) and you need to be evaluated by a doctor. The doctor will probably put you on a low sodium diet (to help decrease water retention which can lead to elevated blood pressures) and also might put you on a diuretic and/or something to lower your blood pressure. Also, you might want to go get your blood pressure checked frequently until it is within the normal range. Good luck.

Answer 9

First of all this seems high, but several factors can be looked at. Do you have any heart defects or abnormalities? How old are you? Does your heart have fluid around the lining of the sac? Is your heart enlarged? How is your genearl health? Do you have any heart blockage? Maybe this could be leading to serious symptoms of heart blockage. Have this checked out and this can probally be controlled by simple medication taken daily. But dont be to paranoid 50% of americans have high blood pressure, mostly due to the foods we eat. Changing your diet can drastically lower your pressure too. Just ask questions! Good luck

Answer 10

It is a little high but if you smoke that can make it higher and stress level can make it higher and what you where doing right before you took it. If you where very active that can change it to. I would sit and relax3e for like 30 Min's, to an hour and see if it goes down.
If not then I would make a check up apt. with your doctor some times if the cup is turned wrong it can be higher also I would what and take it again later.

Answer 11

Yes, very high. Above 140/90 is considered high blood pressure. I highly recommend that you seek your doctor for advice.

On the other hand, start doing light cardio excercise like walking or slow jogging for 20 minutes a day.

Eat 3 to 4 modest meals a day with breakfast being the biggest meal. Cut back on fast food and avoid being completely full.

Again, do not just take my advice. Please seek the consultation from your doctor for real advice as I do not know your medical history nor am I a doctor.
