What's your blood pressure?

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

If you remember your most recent measurement, post it. If you can, measure now!

My pulse is 62, and I'm 120 over 70.

Edit: I used to be higher around 125/85 or so but since I started working out it's better. Back when I was even younger it was excellent, but I suppose I let myself go with junk food and a terrible lifestyle. My resting pulse has definitely come down since my unhealthy days too. Good thing!

110/60
I'm spaceman, b!tch!

 

[Rike]

Always between 120 and 110 over 60.

 

[Mojoed]

Last time I had it checked, it was 170 over 110.

In my defense though, I had to take a huge #2 while I was waiting to be seen, but the bathroom was right next to the seating area so I suffered instead.

Normal for me is around 145 over 90ish

145/100

I bought a monitor from woot a while back. Mine stays right around there even w/ medicine. I should probably go back to the Dr.

350/200...I'm aiming for a total blowout...(gotta love that fatty food and tons of salt!)


I was running about 200/100 a few years ago before I finally accepted the fact that I wasn't gonna get it under control on my own...and started taking meds to control it.

Nowadays, I average in the mid 120's/ about 80.

I can live with that...literally.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU CARE????

It was scary high about a year ago. I was put on medicine. Without the dr's permission, I slowly weaned myself from the medicine while adjusting diet & activity to get it back down. It's a little high, still working its way down, but below medication levels.

9 years ago I was having bad nosebleeds. Went to the Dr. and BP was 160/110. Was a pack a day smoker and 6 pack Mt. Dew drinker back then at age 21. Was on meds for it for a while but eventually stopped when I didn't have health insurance.

Now I've quit smoking, lost weight, and rarely drink caffeine. Try to watch the salt but that's damn near impossible. Normal for me is 134/80 without meds. Been elevated lately because I was sick and stressed out at work.

 

[alevasseur14]

110/60 with a resting pulse in the 65-70 range.

I rather enjoy being a skinny non smoking bike riding mofo!

 

[marvdmartian]

Mine was 170/110 before BP medication, now thing it runs in the 130/85 range. Doctor's happy with it, so who am I to worry??

 

[nobody554]

100/60 with resting pulse around 55.

 

[Martin]

Around 130/80 with a pulse of 50-something. My systolic is usually higher than it should be.

 

[sk560]

118/70 w/ lisinopril 5 mg.

working out lowered the bp and i'm trying to stop medication.

 

[Sentrosi2121]

I just got out of AT P&N. So give me a couple of lifetimes before taking a reading.

 

[Kalvin00]

Around 125-130/80...

[Crono]

121/78, just checked and pretty much what it was when had it checked last time I gave blood.

Resting pulse 80 bpm.

Age 22, 5'11", 206 lbs

I have to lose some more weight and watch what I eat because hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes all run in my family.

I had it read 165/110 one time by a nurse after I ate like a massive bag of chips 5 minutes prior. All other times it was 110-120/80.
I wouldn't worry by just one reading from a machine.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

110/70. Glad it's fairly low, there's no way that life is worth living without lots of salt.

 

[Chaotic42]

Way too high, so I started working out again.
