HELP!! Veryy scared!
no.... I took it at home just now and it keeps coming out between 140 to 145 over 80 to 86...
Okay I found this as well:
Blood pressure is read systolic over diastolic – for example, 120 over 80 or 120/80. Systolic is measured when the walls of the blood vessels contract and diastolic is measured when the walls relax. Here’s how the new federal guidelines break down:
* Normal: Systolic less than 120 – Diastolic less than 80
* Pre-hypertension: Systolic 120-139 – Diastolic 80-89
* Stage one hypertension: Systolic 140-159 – Diastolic 90-99
* Stage two hypertension: Systolic 160 + – Diastolic 100 +
I would look up some ways to reduce your blood pressure. Were you nervous at your appointment? Angry? That can raise your BP.
