I know that normal blood pressre varies with age, height, and weight. Does anyone know any sites that would tell me what my specific blood pressure should be? I am 23 year old female, 5 feet tall and weighs about 115lbs. Any help would be appreciated!

I know that when you lift weights, you get a temporary increase in blood pressure. But over the long run, does weight training ultimately lower your blood pressure?

Hi,

I have to answer that question relating to blood pressure for biology.
If you could provide any links that would be very helpful. Thanks.

I am 74 years old, mildly overweight, don’t smoke or drink, eat extremely healthfully, get sufficient restful sleep, take no medications, am always busy reading, studying, etc. I know I have the white coat syndrome because my blood pressure goes over 180/95+ in the doctor’s office, so I got a portable blood pressure machine that has a wrist cuff and take my pressure eight or ten times a day. It can be anywhere from 185/95 to 132/75 and is never ever constant. I have tried breathing exercises which seem helpful. I do not want to take any medicines. I tried going off caffeine and salt for a couple of weeks, but that doesn’t matter—still fluctuates wildly. I would otherwise consider myself in very good health.

I spoke with my mom today. She’s in her late 60s and has had high blood pressure for years. She still works regularly but is staying home this week to see if her blood pressure can be moderated after spiking to 236/145. (I’m not 100% sure about the second number–it may be a little off, but I am absolutely positive about the 236.)

She was given a new medication, as well as some anxiety medicine. She’s always had high blood pressure, but the 236 even scared her.

So, how close is someone to a heart attack (or some other major body malfunction) when blood pressure goes that high? I remember my mom’s mom had high blood pressure and died from a massive heart attack at age 70 about twenty years ago.

I would like to know what is the average or normal blood pressure in the morning, noon and evening.

curiousquestons2007 asked:


I have a seriously ill family member who is currently experiencing his blood pressure rising to dangerous levels when he gets up which causes blackouts. Does anyone know what causes a rise in blood pressure when you get up he currently just had a MRI but I would like to know where to look on the net. Most things state that your blood pressure drops when rising.

Thanks alot!
Thanks for your answer but that is why I am having problems searching for this everyone is assuming that it is low. He blackouts and his pressure is tested and it is rising drastically.

newmommie asked:


My dad has high blood pressure and was prescribed some medication to lower it. He has to keep taking it for as long as his doctor tells him it’s ok to stop but his medication (Tarka) is pretty expensive and sometimes he can’t afford it so he just stops taking it. I worry that something might happen to him when he does this. Does anyone know where I can find Tarka for less (he currently pays $72 for a 30 day supply of Tarka 2/240mg) or do you know of a natural way to lower blood pressure?

tinax3 asked:


For my final science project, I am taking the blood pressure of 6 students, three males, and three females. I hope to conclude whether the students blood pressure is higher in the morning before school, or after school in the afternoon.
My only issue is, that I have to tell how it applies to science. Does anyone have any idea of how blood pressure would apply to science?
