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.

Is 127 over 90 blood pressure bad for a 42 year old male?
Yes, it is fine. A very rough rule of thumb is your first number (systolic blood pressure) should be no more than 100 + (your age in years) Therefore 100 + 42 = 142 would be a generally accepted maximum Generally a lower blood pressure is better as it decreases many risk factors for stroke and heart attacks. The second number (diastolic blood pressure) will always be lower than your systolic blood pressure and should not exceed 100 and should never exceed 120. Again lower is often better. Very rough explanation but .
What is blood pressure-?
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
What is a normal blood pressure?
Everyone that is living has a blood pressure. Blood pressure is a measurement of the amount of force in arteries when the heart is pumping blood through the body. Blood pressure is determined by not only the amount of blood being pumped, but the force of the blood as it is pumped.Blood pressure levels are continuously changing depending on your level of activity, amount of stress you are experiencing, medications you are taking, diet and physical fitness. Physical fitness includes your weight and whether or not you are well or ill.Normal Blood Pressure RangesIn an adult a normal blood pressure should be no higher than 120/80. The first number, or top number, is called the systolic pressure. Systolic pressure indicates the amount of pressure exerted with contractions of the heart. The bottom number, or diastolic pressure, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury or mmHg.Blood Pressure RangesSomeone is considered to have prehypertension when their systolic pressure is between 120 and 139 and the diastolic pressure is between 80 and 89.Stage 1 hypertension or mild hypertension occurs when the systolic pressure is constantly between 140 and 159 and the diastolic pressure reading is 90 to 99.Stage 2 hypertension or moderate to severe hypertension is when a person has a systolic pressure over 160 and a diastolic pressure over 100.There are many different reasons that someone can experience high blood pressure or hypertension. It is important to understand that one elevated blood pressure reading does not mean someone has hypertension. In order to be diagnosed with hypertension someone has to have repeatedly elevated blood pressure readings.How Often Should Your Blood Pressure Be Checked?In adults with normal blood pressure readings it is advisable to have a blood pressure check at least once every 2 years. For adults with slightly increased blood pressures it's encouraged to have blood pressure checks at least once per year. Those individuals with moderate to severe hypertension should have blood pressure checks as advised by their personal physician.Having your blood pressure checked at least as often as every 2 years is important. Hypertension can lead to heart failure, kidney failure, stroke, heart attack and even death. Hypertension is often called the "silent killer" because many people have it and are unaware. Hypertension often does not have any symptoms.Take care of yourself and get your blood pressure checked.
