My blood pressure was high? |
anyone no if 155/108 is very bad i no its not good and i am on a med for it already but should i contact a doctor? in the middle of getting a new dr so maybe the med center if anyone thinks its neccessary thanks one random blood pressure reading gives us very little information about your blood pressure. 150/108 is higher than we would like. however, if you just exercised, smoked, drank coffee (or anything with caffeine) this could explain the reading. what you need to do is RELAX (sit in a quiet place for about 5 mintues) and then take the blood pressure again. write down the numbers and time of day. it is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate throughout the day. continue taking the medication your doctor prescribed.....155/108 is not an emergency situation......keep track of your blood pressure and bring this information to your next doctors appt - this way the doctor can have a clearer view and be able to adjust your medications accordingly you are asking non-doctors on a web site. the doctors office that prescribed the medication should know how to advise you. its high but if u are on meds i would just check with a doc to make sure he doesn't want to increase or add a new med The 155 isn't so bad, but that 108 is no good. I know when I was pregnant and ran that high they kept me in the hospital, because of the risks of stroke and other things. I would be contacting somebody, especially if you're already on meds, you might need them changed. Yes, that is high and even more so for someone already on bp meds. Get to a doc fast. You need that pressure to go down. Don't wait with a reading like that. Go now. That's high. You should address this issue this week. 120/80 is "classic," but there is some latitude. I don't think anyone would accept anything over 90 for the bottom number, though, regardless of your age or condition. I assume you took your pressure on one of those machines or had someone take it for you who was not a doctor. Often, 120/80 is considered normal, but that's when you're at rest and relaxed. Many people get nervous when they are having their blood pressure taken and it is usually best to take it several times over a period of time and take the average. It's never a bad idea to contact a doctor, especially if you are already on medicine for it. Why take a chance? Be healthy. |
