Question:
Answers:
You mean Hypertension. No it is near to normal. Actually it should be120/80 points in mercury upto the age 26. There was an old formula (your age + 60) through which one can roughly understand the position.
Symptoms:
Restlessness
Some funny head ache/heaviness
Some kind of giddiness
Sleepless nights eventhough you are tired
To safe guard your health from Hypertension you have to follow the following food schedule:
Keep you weight in the scale of 58 - 65 Kg for adults
Stop smoking & intake of alchohol
Reduce intake of saturated salt by 33% in food
Avoid using table salt
fast foods are accelarator, so avoid them
Use cooking oil with less chlostrel
Say no to eggs, butter, cheese, milk/yogurt with fat content, Sweets having butter ghee.
use more fresh fruits, vegitables,
Always follow a diet schedule prescribed by a dietician
In case you have Hypertension you have to compulsarily follow
Jogging & simple physical exercises in the morning & evening
at least 45 minutes a time
Stirct food control
How a physician can help you:
He will check your hypertension & keep a record once a week initially

The reason is within you - more psychological than physical
Find it out and treeat it with elders & friends support
Excercise & food control is the next
Don't excert your self too much
Hypertension is not a disease -
Other Answers:
Better ask a doctor.
you are on the border and should check with a doctor, at least stop eating salt. I cannot decide if you need blood pressure pills, but I can advise you to see a doctor.That is dangerous of causing a heart attack!
If you're under 40.
thats a little high,,,,, but i wouldnt say you need high blood pressure pills. the 150 aint to good but the 84 is good,. if you cut down on salt you should be ok.
What you need to do is cut down on the salt and make an appointment with a doctor.
Yes that is kinda high.
Not yet, though it is a bit high, you might want to watch your diet. Quit smoking if you smoke. But pills are only needed for uncontrollable blood pressures. 180/110 is mine. That is uncontrollable. Talk to your Doctor. He may have some suggestions as to what to eat, and what not to eat. see a doctor.
150/84 is getting there. See your Doctor.
I would suggest getting in to see your doctor. It could have been just a freak occurance, or it could be something more. They will probably want to check it occasionaly and do some testing.
yes you do
in fact you need to visit a doctor immediately
you need to control your intake of salt and potassium related foods
and need adequate rest
you need to remain in cooler environments
don't stress yourself too much
and stay calm
don't get excited or ignited easily
you can always leave the medicine once your pressure is said to be normal by the doctor
Do consult a docter I wish mine was that good. But truthfully, you are close to needing to address it. 84 isn't all that bad, BUT if it continues to rise like when it gets near 90, make sure you address it.
Blood pressure changes from minute to minute so you need an average of several readings. The doc will take several things into consideration- like how old you are, what you weigh- and prescribe based on the best current knowledge. It's not panic time, but it's definitely something you should talk about the next time you see the dotor.
Not yet I would say. Cut down on your salt and fried and oily food. Add either 5-10 minutes of jogging daily or brisk walk of minimum 30 minutes and start doing Anulom-Vilom pranayam daily for minimum 15 minutes. Mine was 160/110 and was not coming down inspite of me taking BP pills for more than 6 weeks. But as soon as I started the above, within three weeks my BP has come down to 140/90.
And forgot to mention, the above were suggested by a Cardiologist I had consulted with. The doc is very satisfied with this progress and says if this continues, I would be off pills very soon.
normal blood pressure for an adult is <120/ <80
Talk to you're doc instead of us dummies, you're blood pressure doesnt stay the same all the time it varies depending on what you've been doing,wether you were active and walking around before you got it checked or if you've been sitting around doing nothing.
Your border line. Make you an appointment to go see a doctor soon as you can. And check it a few times a day. High blood pressure causes hardening of the arteries and stroke. This is not something you ignore. And cut out your salt in take.
