Answer 1

Your diastolic pressure is too high. That's the bottom number, which ideally should be around 70 to 80. The upper number or systolic pressure is borderline. It should be at least 120. Or maybe it's the other way around. I would suggest you see your doctor and he or she will prescribe the right medication for you. There are many different pills for different people, and only your doctor can tell you what is best for your particular condition. Don't be scared. Lots of people have high blood pressure, but if you treat it in time, you'll be okay. Your doctor will also suggest lifestyle changes and proper diet and exercise to keep your pressure in the normal range. Good luck!

Answer 2

Systolic and diastolic pressures vary with age. At the age of 30, the relative blood pressure should be around 120/75. A blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg has been defined by the WHO as borderline hypertension.

You might consider doing more exercises and shedding some pounds, because at 5"8 and 185lbs, your BMI is 28.1, which means your weight is in the overweight category for adults of your height. People who are overweight are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure. Weight loss may help lower the risk of disease, and perhaps you can talk with your healthcare provider to determine appropriate ways to lose weight.

And as you're only on borderline hypertension, normally doctors do not prescribe pills for you. They will only encourage you to eat healthier and do more exercises.

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.

Answer 4

120/80 is the "norm" so you are a bit high. Low sodium, cut back on caffine and up your exercise and cut back on STRESS. If you are a guy your weight is fine, if your a gal you could loose a few.
I really dont think those numbers are high enough to require meds especially if you havent tried diet and exercise. ALSO the conditions in which you got those reading may have influenced it. My hubby got told he wouldnt be able to do something he was counting on right before they took his blood pressure! It was sky high! his next visit it was normal.

Answer 5

Thats above normal but not high, Prescriptions should be prescribed by a doctor not by an internet geek like me.
I am 32 and take water pills to combat my high blood pressure, please seek medical advise before taking anything at all.
We all have allergies, you might have a fatal reaction.

Answer 6

The low number is a bit high. If it stays high then see your do and consider treating it. There is no best pill for high blood pressure; It is whatever works best for you.

Answer 7

140/90 has been regarded as sort of a benchmark for middle age / 6' /145lbs. You may want to watch your weight. Exercise and proper diet is the way to go.
