126/65 BP, is this high?

[MR-FQ320]

Hi mates, just bought Omron blood automatic blood pressure monitor, so as soon as i could I took a reading and got 126 over 65 at 67 BPM.

Im a week into a cycle.

Normal readings or what?

[gixxerboy1]

yea thats normal

[Lunk1]

Looks good actually. Remember that those home moniters and those at the stores and such are not near as accurate as a cuff!

Wish I had that BP then I wouldnt be on meds. Your gtg brother

I was thinking the same thought lol. I may stop and have mine checked right now lol

[AXx]

I checked mine earlier Im good right now, lol

The bottom number is the one to be most concerned with. Under 100 good under 90 better under 80 best

Ive been told that as well as the split between the 2 is very important. Not sure what those ranges are just info I was told

Systolic BP is the first number of a blood pressure reading, and it measures arterial pressure during heart contractions. Work

Diastolic BP is the second number of a blood pressure reading. It measures arterial pressure between contractions. Rest

Thanks fire pisser...have you any knowledge of the desired SPLIT between the 2 numbers???

I get mine checked routinely in the local ER and that is something I was told last cycle when it was high (no AI). They said that they look for the split between Sys/Dia to be in a certain range but did not elaborate

Put your hand down and spit it out JP lol

Lol good stuff---according to what I just learned-

"for adults 18 and older,
Systolic. Diastolic
Normal. <120. And. <80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
Hypertension
Stage 1. 140-159. Or 90-99
Stage 2. ~>160. Or ~>100

just found this

[jpowell]

finally, my research is supported lol.

do it manually. the NIBP cuffs on heart monitors/drug stores are often inaccurate.

you can even do it by yourself with a bp cuff by palpation.

inflate the bp cuff, take your pulse at your radial. when the pulse becomes palpable, thats your systolic.

Sit back down...you didnt even answer the question! you get a D+

get outta here!

my last post ans xactly what you asked man.

[Lunk1]

get outta here!

my last post ans xactly what you asked man.

NOOOO...I'm talking about the range between the top number and bottom number...like maybe the syst is high but thats only bad if the diast is X amount lower or higher.

[jpowell]

o i c what your saying now---yea im not qualified to ans that one my man.

so maybe ill sit back down

There is no "range" between the 2 as you describe.

Systolic
Normal = <120
Prehypertension = 120-139
Hypertension
Stage 1 = 140-159
Stage 2 = >160

Diastolic
Normal = <80
Prehypertension = 80-89
Hypertension
Stage 1. = 90-99
Stage 2. = >100


Simple put even if you have a health range systole or diastole but the other is in unhealthy range you can still be considered PRE-HYPERTENSIVE OR HYPERTENSIVE.... Example is 110/95, systole is in very good range but diastole fall into stage 1 hypertensive range you are considered to have STAGE 1 HYPERTENSION....

Next time dont be such a dick to some of the newer guys when you have no idea what your talking about

Is this directed at me?? If so..please recognize sarcasm, no doubt JP did.

If you paid attention to post #8 you will see clearly I stated it was simply something I was told and was asking not telling!

Next time don't be such a dick when YOU have no idea what your talking about!

Lunk, you're "rude", remember? Lol!

[AD]

The difference between systolic and diastolic is called pulse pressure. Its not commonly used in the treatment of hypertension, but if its too high or too low, both ways indicate the possibility of other conditions.

[Lunk1]

Thanks AD...that may be what the ER Doc was refering to. Thanks for NOT being "rude" lol
