Go to the doctor. Your BP is too high for your age.
They have newer drugs that can help you too.
Other Answers:
I hope you are seing a doctor. With that sort of reading you are seriously at risk of stroke, heart attack and possibly death! You need medical advice and drugs NOW!!
Blood pressure is high at 140 0ver 90. The last reading is more worrying as anything consistently higher than 90 is particularly bad.
You do not say what your pulse rate is. At your age it should be in the low 70s to very low 80s at rest.
As for what you can do for yourself - after seeing the doctor!!
Change your diet. Avoid red meat go for chicken and fish. Eat vegetables and fruit. Avoid alcohol. If you smoke stop.
Get some exercise in. If you are overweight go on a diet and get down to your ideal weight (Doctors advice needed here).
wow that high !
watch your diet and get some excercise !
120/80 is normal
Go see a doctor please !
Oh Boy! You need to see you doctor as soon as possible.
Your too young for BP readings like that.
I'm an oldie but goody, but my blood pressure isn't that high.
That would scare me seriously, You could be looking at a stroke
heart attack.
Are you under a lot of stress? More than "normal"?
Your diet may be not good. Smoking will elevate your blood pressure.
Get an appointment tomorrow, OK? Let us know what he says, OK?
Tamara,
I am an ER nurse and have been for 22 years. Your blood pressure is way too high and if you do not get it treated your kidneys will eventually fail and you will have to go on dialysis. I work in Inglewood CA where there is a very high incidence of this and I see it first hand every day. See a doctor, get on medication. The only thing you can do at home is a low salt diet and keep your weight down. If you are only 22, your High BP is probably hereditary and these 2 actions will not be enough. There is also the holistic approach which you can find at any bookstore but that I can not guarantee works.
