why would blood pressure be 153/67 pulse 58 its always high on top end only and i'm on bp meds should i see dr

Question

this is after iv'e lost 14 lbs and cut out most sugar i only use splenda could splenda be the problem

Answer 1

sounds okay to me - I don't think it's the splenda

Mild hypertension begins at 150/90 - so with a systolic (the top end) BP reading of 153 you are only a little way into the mild hypertension range.

You should be having your doctor monitor it or perhaps you could chart your blood pressure daily in a book for your doctor to look at.

(S)he may increase your medications a little, but many would not.

I note that your pulse pressure is increased. Do you have a leaky valve or a heart murmur?

On the whole, it sounds to me like you should be happy with your current situation and you should keep doing what you have been doing to keep the weight off and the BP down.

Answer 2

Based on the descriptions and my honest choice [usually biased] I fit AB and O with none of the negatives though my confidence may be perceived for arrogance Sun - Aquarius Moon - Aries Again bias from selection :/.... people choose what they choose and it may not be the truth also only 4 types... Dunno my actual blood type :/... but I wouldn't be surprised if it was AB or O... though that is 50% chance combined If I had to fit each to an element O = Fire or Water B = Fire + Sag + Pisces maybe Water AB = Air or Earth definitely A = Earth... specifically Virgo.... Also Fixed Signs and Water signs, probably fixed Water too These descriptions are a bit too much of each sign and not hard wired into a clear decision But again like the previous question I would say if someone had like a setup with Cancer sun Scorpio moon and lots of water with no Air and then "Got" [Chose] Sanguine... I would be like duuuuuuuuuuuude.............BS!!!!!!!!!!... Liar!! Unlike other people I'm not politically correct, I'm honest... And astrologers don't like working backwards, or saying a sign isn't more of "this, or 'that" ... I have no interest in doing that especially if it's the truth....

Answer 3

"Normal" blood pressure is 120/80. Your systolic is a little high, but your diastolic is lower than normal. A low resting pulse is good. It means that your heart isn't working overtime to pump blood through your veins. You may want to just call your doctor and ask them. It probably is due to the weight loss, but it depends on what your blood pressure usually read before you went on your diet. Congrats on the weight loss! I've been doing low carb and have lost almost 20 lbs. I know it's hard, but keep up the good work!

Answer 4

You should go in and see what you can do to reduce your systolic (top) blood pressure. Last semester in my nursing class we learned that 120/80 is now considered pre-hypertensive. 153 is quite high so I would try and reduce that. Talk to your doc because they will know whats best for you.
