Blood Pressure? Low or high?

[disneychrista]

I have always run low (don't know the #'s).

A few weeks ago I took mine on a grocery store machine and it was within the "normal" and I kinda shocked me.

Hi, mines usually way up there..in fact i was wondering what effects people have out there with high bp..ive been feeling very headachey lately, and kinda dizzy sometimes..

Ive had a constant read over three takings at the doctors, and all were 150 over 120 or similar..but i wasnt offered any meds, only advice on cutting down salt, losing weight (why doesnt that surprise me!!) and cutting down stress etc...

Bit concered about the 9 hour flight i am taking to Orlando in 2 weeks time, does anyone think i will suffer from any effects during this? I have started taking 75mg aspirin daily, hoping this would help, and ward off dvt...scary!

Mine usually runs about 90-100/50-60. My blood sugar and temperature also run low.

Mine lately is usually 120 over 80.....average. But I used to have problems with low blood pressure especially when I was pregnant with my third son.

DH takes medicine for high.

mine was really low all during my 20's but now that I'm in my 40's its running really high. Sometimes they don't let me leave the office until I have a EKG. It is running around 170/91 right now and thats on 2types of meds. I have to go in to the Drs everymonth trying different things to get it down. Its no fun.

I am on the low side of normal usually around 110/70

But I had gallbladder surgery 10 days ago and prior to my surgery it was 100/60 and after 82/49! They wouldn't let me leave the hospital until the top number went over 100 and it took forevor despite all my efforts. Finally it was 102/57 and they let me leave.

Now, my husband had really high BP...In fact I took him to Emerg last weekend having strange 'spells' (Kind of like hot flash!) and his was 202/127!!!!!!

I thought he was going to blow!! Now, I do think nerves were a major factor but wow! He now is on 3 different meds...Poor guy.
