What's your blood pressure?

[Angela Harlem]

I was just wondering.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

iirc, it's like 130/75 or something in that ballpark.

 

[corianderstem]

Uh ... no idea, but my doctor tells me it's healthy!

 

[Mr. BAW]

130/78

 

[Angela Harlem]

you are all brimming with good health. i'm pleased!


mine is around 90/70.

 

[love2bmama]

mine's always really low, I'm thinking something like 80/68? Something like that.

 

[yolland]

90/65

 

[indra]

Depends on what forum I'm reading through.

 

[Doozer61]

120/78 usually

 

[deep]

178/115


with meds

125/85

 

[Laura M]

The last three times I was at the doctor it was normal. During January I got it checked and it had shot right up though, I think due to a lot of stress.

 

[Liesje]

No idea, but I have it checked several times a year and they've never said it was bad.

 

[JCOSTER]

The last time it was taken was in January and it was 115 over 70 something.

My blood pressure has always been low.

 

[mandy1973]

mines very low - usually 90/60 or lower - i recently had to have a general anaesthetic and they weren't going to let me go home as 6 hours after the op my BP was still 75/40!!!

 

[Serena Vox]

Mine's usually pretty low as well. It's often times something like 110/78 or around that range.

 

[mandy1973]

^that's not low - just completely healthy and normal

Is it really? Wow, I was told it was low. I don't know if my doctor was comparing it to my mum's or what, because my family has a history of high blood pressure.

 

[JCOSTER]

Mine has been lower than what I posted at times...the doctor has sometimes asked me if I was still alive.

 

[Angela Harlem]

does anyone with low blood pressure get symptoms of it? i have been getting chronically dizzy and lightheaded lately, and the doctors switch between blaming my anemia and my blood pressure. i fear my heart is just going to give up one day and say 'dude, this is nuts, i cant handle this anymore!' and just stop. whenever i get pregnant i go the opposite way and end up on stroke watch because it sits at around 160/110.


anyway, it's interesting there's more with lower than higher bp.

 

[anitram]

I have low BP as well and I have gotten faint on occasion because of it. It was actually in conjunction with anemia, but now the anemia is under control and I don't really have problems with the blood pressure anymore.

 

[Angela Harlem]

are they linked, in general, anitram?

The one's with high bp just aren't posting it.

My sister has super low blood pressue (I don't know the numbers) -- bitch! So low that her doctor eventually had to give her a perscription to raise it. When she tried to fill it she had to try several pharmacies as no one had it as they never had any call for it. Most of the pharmacists had never even heard of the drug before.

 

[anitram]

I'm not sure that they are, but I think that anemia aggravates low blood pressure which is why it's more common with women than men.

My Mom's was horrible, and she still goes for iron shots, but I've been able to control mine with the pill + a revamped diet.

 

[u2granny]

112/70 which is pretty good for an old broad.

 

[bonoishot]

No idea but last time i had it taken it was normal.

 

[Liesje]

I just got back from the doc. It was 110/82.

 

[Bono's Betty]

Don't know mine but I had it checked last week and the dr. said it was normal

Those are the symptoms I get. I've actually been hospitalized just so they could watch it. Drives the nurses nuts having that alarm going off all the time. I was told that drinking lots of water would help. It's severity has come and gone since high school. Right now I'm probably 90/70

 

[UberBeaver]

120/80 or so. I think that's good. I dunno.

 

[fly so high!]

120/70
