Keep in mind,the BP monitors at stores get really beat upon. Kids play with them, they are not callibrated that often. They may give you a general idea. I suggest getting a home monitor and taking it with you to your doctors. Check it at the doctors against their machines. I also get terrible white coat syndrome, so I keep a log to take with me when I get my checkups. That way she can see what is going on. I also mark any changes in wellness. such as a cold that might alter my BP. After 10 years of being on the same medication, we tweaked it a little. That’s to be expected as your body may get use to it. HPB runs in my family and I’ve always been on the boarderline with it. I found out that I had it when I went to my doctor’s because I injured my shoulder at work. Please get your BP checked. It can save your life. I am now 118/65 and feel great.

120/80 is what your blood pressure should not be above for a healthy adult. Pulse for a healthy adult can range from 50-100. Anything lower is too slow, anything faster is too fast. (I am an RN so I do this for a living) If you have concerns, visit your doctor. A lot of things can affect your BP and pulse like stress, hormones, exercise, smoking, diet, etc.

My BP runs low. Last MD visit I was at 102/68 and P 62. This was higher than the 90s it usually runs in. I am doing well.

i went to docter today case i was afraid my blood preesure was giving me problem it was 100/70 uissally it is higher but it was my copd so smokers be ware smoking is very bad for you it is hard to quit and wace you get copd it never goes awaay it is very hard on you

I have mine checked every three months. My last check it was118/68

I work at a Pharmacy and we have a nurse do blood pressure screenings every monday. I ususally try to get mine checked every week. This week I was 122/78. My Mom had high blood pressure, so I always try to keep an eye on it.

I usually check my blood pressure at the grocery store, so I would say maybe once a week. My reading was 104/57 but my pulse was really high (72). Anyone know anything I can do besides exercise to get it down? (I do exercise).

I am in a diet study and get my blood pressure checked about every 8 weeks. I like to have the info since my dad’s family did have a history of high blood pressure

I usally check my blood pressure and my husbands every month. Mine is usally good but i am having to check my husbands more often.

We have a monitor at home! Thanks for reminding me…it’s been awhile.
