Lower your carbs intake to the minimum or completely eliminate those. You'll see results in a moth or two

Hi Kenosi.
What to do if your blood pressure reading is 160/100

  • Don't make a decision based on one BP reading alone; lie down and rest for a few minutes before getting additional readings when you're calm.
  • Watch for symptoms of hypertensive emergency, such as headache, nausea or vomiting, confusion, vision changes, chest pain, and/or shortness of breath. These could be signs of a life-threatening problem and require a call to 911.
  • Be sure you're taking all medications as prescribed.
  • Call your doctor if several BP readings are above 180/110.
  • If you haven't yet done so, purchase a home blood pressure monitor that uses an arm cuff and check your BP every few days. (Wrist and finger monitoring systems don't give accurate results.) Write down each reading, indicating the date and time, and bring this record to the doctor when you visit.

SOURCE: whats normal blood pressure rates, and how can i better manage high blood pressure

120 over 80 is considered normal. High sodium diets make it go up. Stay away from sugar and high salty foods to lower it.

SOURCE: what are the common causes creating high blood pressure. what can you do to combat high blood pressure.

Not enough exercise- taking regular exercise and losing weight is VERY effective in lowering BP.
Reduce salt intake - fast food is very heavy in salt so eat more fruit and veg, chicken, fish, lean meat.
Lower your cholesterol intake - which can cause narrowing of the arteries and contribute to high BP. Animal fats like that in meat and dairy are the worst but use olive or sunflower oil for cooking, drink semi skimmed milk and control the amount of cheese and red meat you eat.
Hope this helps.

What is the symptoms of high blood pressure?

Symptoms of High Blood Pressure -

- High blood pressure is generally a chronic condition and is often associated with few or no symptoms.
- When symptoms do occur, it is usually when blood pressure spikes suddenly and extremely enough to be considered a medical emergency.
- Rare symptoms include dizzy spells, headaches, and nosebleeds.

High blood pressure is often associated with few or no symptoms. Many people have it for years without knowing it. However, just because high blood pressure is often symptomless doesn't mean it is harmless. In fact, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or hypertension, causes damage to your arteries. High blood pressure is also a risk factor for stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular problems.

MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS 145/90. I am 71. i AM OTHERWISE HEALTHY. SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT THIS

Rena: Normal blood pressure is a reading below 120/80. Your bottom number is a little too high. Here is where to start: decrease salt in your diet. Try to decrease stress (like taking a stress management class). Increase your daily exercise. Herbs that may help lower blood pressure include basil, cinnamin, flaxseed, garlic, ginger, hawthorn, celery seed, French lavendar, and cat's claw (but NOT the real cat!) :) Take your blood pressure at different times of the day and keep a record. Uncontrolld high blood pressure can lead to stroke by damaging and weakening your brain's blood vessels, causing them to narrow, rupture or leak. High blood pressure can also cause blood clots to form in the arteries leading to your brain, blocking blood flow and potentially causing a stroke. I used to work in a dialysis clinic and there were always plenty of men that did not control their blood pressure for many years and eventually wore out their kidneys. If you consistently stay above the recommended numbers, go see your doctor.

I EAT SO LITTLE , BUT MY BLOOD LEVELS ARE ALWAYS HIGH , WHY IS THAT SO ?

blood pressure is controlled by the arteries in the heart and the heart's ability to pump blood
high blood pressure is the first indications of a heart problem, extreme stress or other problems in the blood system

next step for you is to call the doctor for a proper diagnosis of the pressure problem

My blood pressure is 110/95 and my heart rate is 124/bpm. I am pregnant what does that mean?

110/95 Blood Pressure
Is 110/95 Good Blood Pressure or High Blood Pressure?

There are two parts or two separate numbers referred to as blood pressure: Systolic/Diastolic. If the blood pressure is 110/95 (110 over 95), it means that the systolic pressure is 110 and the diastolic pressure is 95.

110/95 blood pressure can also be read as 110/95 mm Hg, or 110/95 millimeters of mercury. The 110 mm Hg Systolic refers to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and the 95 mm Hg Diastolic is the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats.

When determining if 110/95 is a good blood pressure, we looked at the American Heart Association's blood pressure chart.

Blood Pressure Systolic Diastolic Normal Less than 120 Less than 80 Prehypertension 120 - 139 80 - 89 High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension) Stage 1 140 - 159 90 - 99 High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension) Stage 2 160 or higher 100 or higher Hypertensive Crisis
(Emergency care needed) Higher than 180 Higher than 110
For 110/95 to be good, both numbers must fit into the "normal" category above. Otherwise, it will fall into other categories of High Blood Pressure.

Systolic reading of 110 is in the Normal range.
Diastolic reading of 95 is in High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1 range.
Therefore, 110/95 is High Blood Pressure (Hypertension Stage 1).

What is the danger having pressure 130/100

Inasmuch as your heart is in the left side of your chest, this is not a good sign. Doctors treat blood pressures greater than 140/90. Your diastolic pressure of 100 is a bit too high. High blood pressure causes enlarged heart and other serious issues. Go read about it at wikipedia and start to become more informed. There are lifestyle changes that may help reduce blood pressure.
