Blood pressure 168 over 86 is it really high?


just wanted to know if it is bad I know smoking and salt effect it, are there any other things that would make it high like stress Thanks

Sounds like you caught in a go no go situation. I'm similar except the sodium level you have to take This problem is solved for me by a diet of sodium 0.5 mg per 100gms of food years ago this was very hard to do, easy today.Needed a supplier from the hospital for it. You didn't mention potassium also a problem little or none if pos. things like summer fruits,coffee and chocolate, (sorry), anything that ends in berry a no go. Stress is a major factor in all ailments, just about makes everything worse but that's what we do. Have a look at some sites how to reduce stress
Stress.. caffeine Yes..it's high...should be somewhere around 120 over 80 or less.
stress?!
What time of the day was your bp taken as it affects the systolic reading? (86)

Certainly stress can push up blood pressure for sure.
bad......... hypertensive.......... over 140 while at rest is getting risky.
This would be mild hypertension. Stress can definitely affect blood pressure.
Its pretty high around 135 can be dangerous. Being nervous doesnt help
