Blood pressure reading of 160 over 100. Not always that high. Is that a real gauge for heart trouble?

Question

My blood pressure varies, sometimes 120 over 80 but usually is higher than that, roughly around 140 over 90. I have monitored my blood pressure and I have never been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I met someone with a blood pressure of 180 over 100 and only 21 years of age. I had minears disease, fancy word for vertigo. My eyes were used for balance and because of that my neck gets very stiff. I keep thinking that my blood pressure has a lot to do with the fact that I am always tense around the neck.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Get to a doctor as soon as you can. It could be a problem. You need to get a five day pulse and pressure check.

It might be nothing serious or you could be a candidate for a stroke.

There is no way you should be consistently get blood pressure readings as high as 160 over 100. A diastolic (the lower) reading as high as 90 is too high if you are getting it consistently.

BP shouldn't make your neck hurt, but you might find yourself experiencing nosebleeds or other unexplained bleeding.

It definitely needs to be checked out.

Answer 7

Having a blood pressure of 140/90 is at the high end of normal and actually is considered borderline hypertension. A blood pressore of 180/100 is very high. Being only 21, if you continue to have high blood pressure, you will very likely develop heart disease at a young age.

There are other factors involved in developing heart disease as well. If you smoke or are overweight, both will contribute to hypertension and heart disease.

Additionally, its Meniere's disease, with one of those French accents over each of the first two 'e's.

Pain and stress can certainly contribute to high blood pressure readings, but again, regardless of the cause, having pressures that high will lead to trouble.

Follow-up with your doctor and decide upon a treatment plan. Likely you will need to be on medications.

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.

The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

Answer 9

Many many things can cause an elevation in blood pressure.

Even eating can cause an elevation. A true test of it is to take an average of tests throughout the day. You must be at rest and feel relaxed.

If it is still high have a doc check you out.

Answer 10

You need to get on medication immediately - but check with your Dr. as to what drug protocol you need to follow. The fact that you have Meniere's disease does not affect your blood pressure. BTW I have had Menieire's for over 25 years - right side only. Hearing loss in now >50% and attacks have not happened for almost 10 years. As the hearing decreases the attacks seem to have become more infrequent.

Answer 11

Firstly your blood pressure has nothing to do with your neck or with vertigo. If you are worried have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis for a while. 120 over 80 is pretty good and normal.
