Blood pressure is 146 over 80 and pulse 100 is that bad?

Answer 1

That is considered borderline high blood pressure, however, a one time reading of blood pressure is not enough to make adiagnosis. Some peoples blood pressure goes up just by going to the doctor, called the white coat syndrome. Blood pressure can go up with stress, pain, anxiety, exercise ect...the best thing to do is to take serial readings to get an average. It should average below 140/90 at rest.

Answer 2

When one describes Bld. Pressure in layman's terms, it can be said that the top # 167= the amt. of pressure against the bld. vessels at the moment; and I believe the lower # represents the consistent pressure. 67 is lower than the average of 80. So this B.P. probably represents an anxious individual whose anxiety increased the B.P. at the time (most likely increased heart rate>100BPM=beats per min.) 60-100BPM=normal. The reading of 67 is indicative of individual with low to average B.P. if this diastolic reading is consistent in findings. Systolic=upper # Diastolic=lower reading. Decreasing one's ANXIETY level will most likely lower this systolic reading of 167. Make sense? Stay cool...RELAX; and your B.P. will be less likely to be HIGH...R.N./Mass.

Answer 3

BP ( blood pressure) should be between 140/90 and 90/60

HR (heart rate) should be between 60-100bpm(beats per minute)
