Blood pressure

Posted by: aajohn on: February 6, 2008

What should my blood pressure be?

“140/90mmHg is the level of blood pressure used to diagnose high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is consistently raised at these levels and above, it will need to be treated. Treatment may involve making changes to your lifestyle and/or taking medication. This level of 140/90 mmHg is the level for high blood pressure for everyone, whether you are male or female, young or old…”

My blood pressure this morning was 135 / 74mmHg. High side of normal. My resting heart rate was 60. I’ll measure it again during the challenge.

i’ve read that anything over 120 is doing damage. i had high blood pressure, but have managed the stress in my life, lost some weight, and added a lot of red pepper to my diet. I was on the underside of 110 a couple months ago. Be curious as to where it is now…
