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

What does this blood pressure mean?
A few days ago, my blood pressure was 108 over 60. Yesterday, it was 107 over 70.
i know the first number is my blood pressure when my heart is pumping and the other is when its resting. When i looked at a chart online, i saw that if your blood pressure is about 110, the other should be about 70. what i want to know is, why was it sixty?
I am 14 y/o and very athletic.
Thanks.

Monitor your health with blood pressure chart
Everything that is too much is definitely bad for health. This sentence is more often than not being forgotten by most of us. There are so many things around us that we can easily grab and enjoy. In this age of modernization, everything is almost accessible. However, we tend to disregard the very basic fact; that we are here in this world to enjoy everything that the world gives us but it won’t be long. Spiritually saying, we won’t be long in this world but what we are doing these days makes our life much shorter. We tend to forget that our body is precious so we have to take of it but often, we think that our bodies have the responsibility to take care of us. We abuse it. We eat the food that would deteriorate our body condition. We do things we know are bad for our health and we just take for granted the very first thing that we are supposed to think of and that is to monitor our health.
The pressures at work, aging, insufficient intake of vitamins, vices, high levels of alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle are just some of the causes of hypertension. Hypertension is one of the most common diseases which could be worse when taken for granted. Most of the time, people who have hypertension don’t even know that they are already suffering from one and this ignorance can continue. One of the best ways to control and monitor health is the use of blood pressure chart.
Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood that travels through a person’s body and when written, 2 numbers are given – the systolic which is the highest pressure recorded when the heart pumps blood and diastolic which is the lowest pressure when the heart relaxes. The importance of the this chart comes in because it indicates what category the blood pressure belongs. The blood pressure chart has three categories – the normal stage, hypertension stage 1 and stage 2. It is very important for people to be aware of the chart so that early treatments can be applied when suffering from hypertension.
Hypertension is not very difficult to cure but needs more patience and control. Proper diet has to be followed and good rest. This disease might be serious and can lead to a life-threatening disease when precautionary measures are not taken. It can kill a person anytime of the day and in whatever situation he is in.
There are so many blood pressure charts available on the internet and medical books. Yet, it is easy to get one but before doing so blood pressure reading must be attained. When your blood pressure is taken in a clinic, the doctor usually reads it through a blood pressure chart such that he can easily diagnose the patient.

Hypertension with just one blood pressure test?
I was at wal-mart and my friend and I were messing around and I decided to take my blood pressure, something I hadn’t done in a long time. It came out to be like 130/80 or something like that, which according to the chart meant I had Stage 1 Hypertension. I guess what I am asking is whether or not your blood pressure fluctuates depending on if you haven’t eaten, or just worked out, or other factors… or if it stays the same. In other words, does this mean I have hypertension or could it just be an abnormal test result (because I had never had problems with it before).
Question about High Blood Pressure and medication?
For the last couple of months my blood pressure has been all over the place. Sometimes its really high. Sometimes a little high and sometimes just normal. I had mentioned to my doctor one day about 2 episodes I had where my blood pressure jumped extremely high. I was just sitting on the couch watching a movie and the other time on the computer. I always know when my blood pressure is high because it makes me feel kinda funny. After I had told her this she looked back through my chart and noticed that it fluctuated quite often. She was mostly concerned with the lower number. Anyway, she prescribed me 40 mg of Micardis.
I guess I’m concerned that if I take this medication and my blood pressure is “normal”, will it make it drop lower? Of course, I didn’t think to ask her this when I saw her and getting a hold of her is very difficult. Just looking for people who may have experienced this before.
I am in my late 30’s and my mother had a stroke when she was in her early 40’s. She was never diagnosed with hypertension until after her stroke.
I did ask this question in another category, but I was hoping I might get some more input.
