    Default Weird Blood Pressure (130/60) ??

    So, I just went to the doctor, and he said my bp was 130/60 which seems really high. It also seems weird because the top number is so much bigger than the bottom number, and I though they were supposed to be closer together.

    My doctor told me not to worry about it bc the bottom number (60) is more important than the top number, and he also told me he thought I was just nervous. My blood pressure generally gets high when I first get to the doctor and then goes down if they test me later.

    But I'm still concerned. He told me to still keep taking my birth control and I am, but still, do I have high blood pressure?

    Any advice?

    (I'm 25 and in perfect health otherwise)

    Silly doc why didn't he just retest after a min or 2 to put your mind at ease.... Those numbers are perfectly fine. 130 isn't anything to worry about too much definitely looks as if you was just nervous babe.

    Oh and no the two numbers which are the Systolic and Diastolicm pressure are not supposed to be together.

    Those are fine. I just came from a place where my blood pressure was checked daily, and sometimes it varied as such. 60 diastolic is actually very low, but 130 is ok. You're fine, and the doctor still might have tried again, those machines do error.

    When the numbers are close together is when there is a problem!
    The top number is supposed to be higher than the bottom.

    Your bp is within norml range. 60 is at the low end, and 130 is a tad high, but it's still within range. No worries!

    It's fine. I've had "white coat anxiety" jumps in blood pressure readings too, it's common.

    As my P.E. teacher would say, Never a bad idea to work out some to make you feel better, if you're really worried.

    It's normal. The first number should be very very roughly around two times the second number.

    Mine's chronically low, like 70/30..

    mines 126/80 which can be indicative of prehypertension (especial with my family history) if your that orried about it you can prolly help keep it stable naturally most notibly but cutting down the ammount of sodium in yur diet and by eating lots and lots of garlic

    i found this online



    Natural Treatments for High Blood Pressure
    Lifestyle changes and natural remedies may help to control high blood pressure, but your doctor may also recommend medication to lower high blood pressure. It is important to work with your doctor, because untreated high blood pressure may damage organs in the body and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, brain hemorrhage, kidney disease, and vision loss. See a drawing of a hypertensive heart.
    Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
    There is some evidence that the supplement CoQ10 may help to reduce high blood pressure.

    A 12 week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 83 people with systolic hypertension examined the effect of CoQ10 supplements (60 mg twice daily). After the 12 weeks, there was a mean reduction in systolic blood pressure of 17.8 mm Hg in the Coq10-treated group.

    Another study conducted at the University of Western Australia looked at the effect of CoQ10 on blood pressure and glycemic control in 74 people with type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either 100mg CoQ10 twice daily, 200mg of the drug fenfibrate, both, or neither for 12 weeks.

    CoQ10 significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure(mean reduction 6.1 mm Hg and 2.9 mm Hg respectively). There was also a reduction in HbA1C, a marker for long-term glycemic control.

    Garlic
    In a meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials of garlic supplements, three trials showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure and four in diastolic blood pressure. Researchers concluded that garlic powder supplement may be of clinical use in patients with mild hypertension.

    Garlic supplement should only be used under the supervision of a qualified health practitioner. Garlic can thin the blood (reduce the ability of blood to clot) similar to aspirin. Garlic may interact with many drugs and supplements such as the prescription "blood-thinners" drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin) or Trental (pentoxifylline), aspirin, vitamin E, gingko. It is usually recommended that people taking garlic stop in the weeks before and after any type of surgery.

    Hawthorn
    The herb hawthorn is often used by traditional herbal practitioners for high blood pressure.

    In a randomized controlled trial conducted by researchers in Reading, UK, 79 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive either 1200 mg of hawthorn extract a day or placebo for 16 weeks. Medication for high blood pressure was used by 71% of the patients.

    At the end of the 16 weeks, patients taking the hawthorn supplement had a significant reduction in mean diastolic blood pressure (2.6 mm Hg). No herb-drug interactions were reported.


    Fish oil
    Preliminary studies suggest that fish oil may have a modest effect on high blood pressure. Although fish oil supplements often contain both DHA (docohexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoice acid), there is some evidence that DHA is the ingredient that lowers high blood pressure.

    Folic acid
    Folate is a B vitamin necessary for formation of red blood cells. It may help to lower high blood pressure in some people, possibly by reducing elevated homocysteine levels.

    One small study of 24 cigarette smokers found that four weeks of folic acid supplementation significantly lowered blood pressure.

    Your blood pressure can change drastically within minutes due to stress, the heat in a room or even going from sitting to standing. If you tested it again right away it could be back to normal.

    If you're worried about your BP try testing it for a few days at a drug store BP machine and recording your results. Having consistantly higher than normal BP is what can cause problems.

    I have to back that up. I have some sort of cold/virus thing right now. I went in last Friday and my BP was 104/63. I went in on later on Wednesday (after strep anio-biotics didn't work), and it was 139/70!! The most it has been in my entire life!! Plus, I had a slight temperture.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much..
