blood pressure question.

**dive_kid** · 02-17-2006, 04:10 AM

so last week I go for a check up. every thing was good except for blood pressure. it came up as 190 over 95. the doctor told me that is high and checked again. same result. now a week later I go and get checked again, same results. I asked a few questions but got no answers from the doc, or maby I just could not understand him ( aisian fellow).
so here are my questions:
1. what should a healthy 28 yr olds bp be around
2. any tips to bring it down
3. is it a safe idea to finish my cycle
4. how worried about this should I be
thanks all

well not sure, but I would assume yes. now I dont eat crap. min amounts of salt. pizza once every second week, kinda thing. work out hard and lots of cardio. so I would assume I should be fine except for, I just found out my dad has high bp, and has had for 20 or so years. he has been on meds for it.
is this something that gets passed on?

Get a hold of a BP cuff or someone that can take your BP for you and track it for a week. Preferrably at the same time everyday.

It could be a little high. I don't know your history nor do I know what your diet is like.

Also, sometimes, people get a little agitated or nervous etc when going to the doctor's office. This is called 'white coat' syndrome. When you're in that state of mine elevated BP levels are not unheard of.

** bottom line **

Track it for a week then post your results and let me know.

peace.
