No, this is not OK. If your blood pressure continues to stay at this level, or some where similar, you definitely need to get medical attention. The Doctor may decide to prescribe Blood Pressure Medication to help control this problem.
Normal Blood Pressure is generally
Systolic (top number) less than 120
Diastolic (bottom number) less than 80
The following is based on the average adult over the age of 18, with no major health problems.
Systolic/Diastolic
Normal (as stated above)
Pre-hypertension
120-139/80-99
Stage 1 High Blood Pressure
140-159/90-99
Stage 2 High Blood Pressure
160+/100+
If your blood pressure stays in these area's, please contact a Doctor in order to determine if medication may be needed to help control your blood pressure. This is very dangerous as it can cause many health problems, such as Heart disease, stroke, heart attack, and death.
Well the standard is 120/80, but it varies on several factors like age, weight, diet, medications, etc. but I would say that that is a healthy BP to have
The answer to 45 + 109 + 2 is 156. You add 45 to 109, then add 2 more to get the total of 156.
Yes, it definitely is!!! See a doctor!
There are plenty of charts on the net, but 156 is a little high. Maybe you were stressed out? 75 is pretty good.
156/76 is not a normal blood pressure. According to my medical book, it is considered to be high blood pressure if you have a systolic number greater than 140 and a diastolic number greater than 90. This is a good time to look into ways to lower your blood pressure.
Thank you for helping, really appreciate it.
I am also 61 and my blood pressure was 156 over 96. My Dr has changed my medication and I now have to have a BP check every week for a month. My life assurance premium has been increased because of this BP.
104
94/156 = 47/78
7/12 = 91/156 5/26 = 30/156 91- 30 = 61/156
Type your answer here... yes
120/156 = 10/13
156/195 = 52/65
