Traci asked:
I’m a 21 year old female and my blood pressure is 153/100 which is actually lower than the last time I checked it. Going to a doctor is absolutely not a possibility so therefore I can’t get a prescription. If anyone could tell me other ways to lower it I would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a serious condition that can frequently creep up on you over the years and rarely produces any symptoms to warn you that you have a problem. High blood pressure affects many areas of the body and is often associated with damage to your heart and, in particular, to coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease is a term used to describe several diseases that affect the arteries supplying blood to the heart. Whatever the specific disease the basic problem is that arteries supplying blood to the heart are damaged to such an extent that flood can no longer flow freely into the heart leading to chest pain, an irregular heart rhythm or a heart attack.

kazann6 asked:
I am 40 years old, and 29 weeks pregnant with baby number eight. I never get sick, and my blood pressure has always been perfect.
However, I have come down with severe head cold/flu type symptoms, and my blood pressure has risen to 155/88.
Should I be concerned? Perhaps get my blood pressure checked again in a few days?

Nick asked: When I was at school, my university doctor diagnosed me with high blood pressure. I took medication (Atenol sp?) for a while before running out and summer vacation starting. I saw my family doctor at home now 3 months into summer vacation, and he said my blood pressure is fine.
I recently decided to log my blood pressure over the past month. Thus far in the morning it’s averaging at 135/79, and at night 136/85. Hypertension starts at 140/90, which it looks like I’m just beneath. My family doctor says im in the 95th percentile for my age in blood pressure, but 95 still in the range that it’s normal…
Should I be getting a third opinion? Could it be higher because of the stress at school? Should I be taking blood pressure meds? I really dont wanna die of a heart attack when I’m 35, so advice is appreciated here.

Gerri C asked:
Blood pressure went up recently. Can this happen during a cold or flu? Can blood pressure go up during a period of grief?
