What is the term for your blood pressure and your heart at work?
When you are getting the doctor to take your blood pressure the readings are called: dystolic/systolic 120/80
When the bottom number is high does that mean that the heart is beating to fast?
I take it you mean on your blood pressure readings? The bottom number is the pressure the blood is returning to the heart.
Is blood pressure 147 to high for a 25 year old male?
Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80. If the 147 is the top number(systolic) it seems a little high for a 25 year old. If it is the bottom number(diastolic) then it seems very high. However one reading does not mean much. Take several readings and see if that is just a fluke. Most drug stores have free blood pressure machines you can use. There will be information on the machine that can help you interpret your readings.

Can you take your medicine before fasting blood work?
I would say no, since the medicine, depending on what it is for, might change your blood readings and it might not be the readings that you want. I mean, you can, but just keep that in mind.
Do Not Wait For High Blood Pressure Symptoms To Appear?
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) says about 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. may have high blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension. Many people called HBP the "Silent Killer" because it does not have any known symptoms. When left unchecked, the disease causes damage to the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, and other parts of the body.Blood pressure measures the force of the heartbeat as it moves blood, which contains oxygen, to all parts of the body. As blood flows through arteries and veins, it stretches the tissue that makes, up the walls. We describe this "force" in numerical terms, such as "one-twenty over eighty," "120/80," which measures blood pressure in two ways:As the heart beats and pumps blood through the vessels or systolic blood pressure--top number.The heart when it's in the rest state or diastolic blood pressure--bottom number.According to NHLBI, blood pressure readings of less than 120/80 milliliters of mercury (mmHg) -- for both numbers-- represent a normal reading.Remember, you will not become aware of HBP with signs or symptoms.In rare cases, an individual with HBP may experience a headache, dizziness or nosebleeds. By then, the high blood pressure may have reached a critical stage or become "life-threatening." NHLBI defines high blood pressure as blood pressure readings over 140/90 mmHg.HBP readings between 120139 or 8089, warn of pre-hypertension. Readings of 130/80 mmHg, or higher for individuals who have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, indicate high blood pressure. HBP numbers vary for children and teenagers.Having the proper blood pressure helps you form a solid foundation for maintaining good health. Make it part of your health check routine to "know your blood pressure numbers," even when you feel good and healthy. Take multiple blood pressure readings over a three-day period and calculate your average blood pressure.Persons with pre-hypertension or HBP must work with their health care practitioners and take the steps required to get the disease under control. Individuals with normal blood pressure should work with their health care team to maintain normal blood pressure and healthy lifestyle.
What is the ideal time to measure blood pressure and how often in a day blood pressure should be measured?
Try to take your blood pressure measurements at the same time and under the same conditions every day. The ideal time to measure your blood pressure is in the morning just after waking up-before breakfast, any major activity or exercise. This will give you a base blood pressure measurement. It is best to take readings closely together if you want to check whether one reading is accurate. Rest for 30 seconds then take another reading. Blood pressure can vary even over a few minutes.It depends. If you are taking medication for maintaining normal blood pressure then you should choose a particular time to check blood pressure every day, preferably, a time when you are not disrupted by work or other situations. Keeping a consistent time to check your blood pressure is important. But, if you are checking to see whether you have blood pressure, you should take your blood pressure at different times during the day. An average blood pressure can thus be obtained. If you find that your blood pressure fluctuates above the normal levels, you may want to check with your doctor for dietary advice. Ask your doctor about taking nutritional supplements, like Blood Pressure Matrix that can support the body's ability to maintain normal blood pressure.
