How can I get checked for hypertension (high blood pressure) without seeing a doctor?

I looked up in a book what kind of headache I’ve been experiencing based on the symptoms, and it looks like a hypertension headache. It didn’t even sound like any other headache listed. I understand this means high blood pressure, but I was wondering… saving myself a trip to a doctor, how can I diagnose this myself?

I’m thinking I’d have to buy a blood pressure monitor, and take regular readings… totally doable. That would be better than making an appointment, waiting 2 weeks, and paying a co-pay to have him tell me to do that.

What I’m looking for from you is a website giving information on self-diagnosis of hypertension, and treatment options. At what point should I see a doctor? Etc.

Thank you

Can high blood pressure feel like an ear infection?

I went to the doctor today after dealing with an ongoing problem, which I thought was an ear infection, for about 5 months. I have always had cronic ear infections since I was a child, so i figured that I just had a really bad one that wouldnt go away. Well, my doctor checked my ears and said that there was nothing wrong with them, but rather my high blood pressure was causing pressure in my ear that felt like an ear infection. I trust my doctor but this seems a bit strange. Why would it occur in one ear but not the other? My ear pops everytime I open my mouth or swallow and I always have a sloshy feeling inside my head. Has anyone ever been treated for this same problem or does anyone have any information?

If I take a high blood pressure medicine?

And I don’t have high blood pressure can it harm me? There is a blood pressure medicine that possibly could reverse my disease that I have and can’t find any information on it.
The reason I am asking is because I want to be knowledgeable about it before I talk to the doctor.

I am 21 and have high systolic (148 +) and low diastolic (35-40) blood pressure. What does this mean?

I look online to see what the symptoms of high blood pressure and both diastolic and systolic should be high simultaneously. Does anyone have some insight or a link to information that could clear up any misconceptions I may have?

About me, I am in very good shape. I am 6 foot, weight about 172 and am at 4.6 % body fat. This is why I am confused. . . Thanks guys!

My 7 year old neice has high blood pressure 130/80 – Please let me know any information you may have on this.?

She is not overweight at all – she was nervous at the dr’s office because she knew she was there to get shots… but, would being scared of shots raise her blood pressure to 130/80? She is going back to the dr. on Monday to have her blood pressure checked again. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
