A single blood pressure measurement is rarely conclusive. It should be repeated over a period of time to observe a consistent pattern. According to the websites given below a blood pressure of between 140 - 159 over 90 - 99 is classified as Stage 1 Hypertension (high blood pressure) and should be checked within two months, with advice should be given about lifestyle modification. The usual aim is to reduce systolic pressure to below 140 and diastolic pressure to below 90. So if your blood pressure was measured by a doctor you should go back within two months. Meanwhile you should review your diet (eg salt levels), exercise, give up smoking and reduce alcohol consumption. If you have any of the following symptoms you should seek medical advice: * Unexplained severe headache

* Sudden or gradual changes in vision

* Light-headedness or dizziness

* Nausea associated with severe headache

* Chest pain or shortness of breath upon exertion If you are at all concerned you should seek a qualified medical opinion as soon as possible. http://www.sign.ac.uk/guidelines/fulltext/49/section2.html http://www.cardiologychannel.com/hypertension/treatment.shtml http://www.emedicinehealth.com/high_blood_pressure/article_em.htm http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-blood-pressure/DS00100/DSECTION=6

A B/P of 111/57 is getting on the low side. You should at least be evaluated by a physician. Hypotension can cause dizziness, falls, fainting spells, plus your brain and organs are not receiving the blood you need to keep everything working well.
