All I need now is to know about stabalizing blood pressure and blood cholesterol.

What are birth control options for someone with high blood pressure?

high blood pressure
Cass M asked:


So, I just went in to get birth control and I was told that my blood pressure is a little higher than they would like. I’m going back in next week to get it re-checked, hoping things will have calmed down in my life.
What are options for birth control (besides condoms) if someone has high blood pressure? Are there just different types of pills, or IUD, or patch, or what? I forgot to ask when I was at the office. Any help would be great.

How accurate are home blood pressure monitors?

blood pressure monitors
Mommy-to-Be asked:


I bought a manual inflate arm cuff blood pressure monitor that gives out a digital reading. The pharmacist recommended it over the auto inflate b/c it was half the price and he said that would be the only difference. The reason i purchased one is b/c i’m pregnant and my BP has been in the 140′s over 80′s at my docs office lately. When i take my BP at home with this monitor, it’s been in the 120′s over 70′s. It’s made by HoMedics. Thanks!

Omron Blood pressure monitor detected irregular heart beat?

blood pressure monitoring
katesrevenge asked:


I purchased a new Omron blood pressure monitor. It has the irregular heart beat detector in it. I’ve been monitoring my BP for three weeks and no irregular beats have been detected until today.

However, I think I might have been moving my arm a little and been tensed up. So my question is, how accurate is the irregular heart beat feature? Can it make an error?

Anyone else have one of these monitors detect an irregular beat before?

kena asked:


When I monitor blood pressure after I sit down quietly for 3 minutes, it is about 120/80-125/85. If I move around or measure within a minute of sitting it is about 145/95. Is this normal? How much variation is expected when you walk or talk or exercise?
