Answer 2

204/104 is way to high. The ideal blood pressure now is 120/80 or lower. !40/80 was the norm for many years. Now, if you have anything over 140/80, you would be on blood pressure medicine. See a Doctor NOW!!! HIgh Blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes etc.

Blood pressure measurements don't count for anything if you've been walking around. Ideally, you should be sitting down for at least 5 minutes or so. Blood pressure also can vary during the day, so it's best to get measurements from similar times during the day. No caffeine in the morning either. These measurements should be repeated on a few separate occasions. Some people get "white coat hypertension" when they go to the doctor's office because they are nervous. Probably blood pressure medicines wouldn't kill you. But you don't necessarily need blood pressure medicines if your blood pressure is only high while active. When doctors study the effects of high blood pressure, they study the effects of people who are diagnosed with it as described above. You are probably at no higher cardiac risk from your blood pressure.

Answer 4

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.

Make an appointment with your doctor immediately. Better yet, just run over to the emergency room or one of your neighborhood 24 hour care facilities. They will run tests on you and tell you what to do. Blood pressure should be around 120/80. Get going. NOW

Answer 10

As a healthcare provider I say : GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND CALL 911. Your blood pressure is high enough to be considered hypertensive crisis and you are describing the symptoms of a hearst attack....including denial. And avoid the temptation to drive yourself to the ER. Please just call 911. I know of which I speak.
