My husband took his blood pressure with an at home machine. His numbers have been 163/113 and 147/95. He argues with me that this is not high. Mine was 107/59 and mine is usually low.He refuses to go to a doctor and his has been high for a number of years. What are signs to look for that high blood pressure is affecting his organs and how long can it take to kill someone if left untreated. He is 48 years old. Thanks!!!

I’m on day 5 of being in the hospital after delivering early via c-section. I’m also on doctor #5, each one has a different idea about how long I will be here. Has anyone else had persistant high blood pressure after delivering and they wouldn’t let you leave? I’m now on two medications, one of which has been increased twice and my bp just won’t stay down. It’s starting to feel like I could be here forever!

i know you can get it from eating bananas but why is it good for you?

Hello All,
I am just about 6 weeks pregnant and don’t have my first doctors appointment for 2 more weeks. High blood pressure runs in my family regardless of activity level, weight, gender, etc… it skips around but I was one of the ‘blessed’ ones.
What are some of the risks being pregnant with high blood pressure? What are the doctors going to do about it? Will I be a high-risk patient?

Thank you all!

I am 19 year old girl,normal weight,non-smoker,non-drinker.
I have generally low bp-90/60 and very high heartbeat even 130+.
I feel tired all the time,and i can’t climb stairs because of high heart rate and i feel lack of breathe.

can any one tell me in which daily food we eat,fruits,vegetables contain potassium? .Is it for the nerves or mussles?please guide me and give more and more answers so that i can take more advantage of it with u r help. thanks

I’ve been put on bedrest because I have high blood pressure. I’m 34 weeks PG and I’m a little concerned as to what can be brought on by this.

Could I get toxemia or pre-eclampsia this late in pregnancy from high blood pressure?

Could I go into premature labor and what else could happen?

Thanks.

When in use in a Chemistry Lab, why are containers of potassium permanganate covered with aluminum foil?

My grandma yesterday had low blood pressure and she looked very pale. We called the ambulance and the only thing they found was she had low blood pressure. This morning her blood pressure was okay, but now her blood pressure is high. Last night she did take medication though.

What does this mean?

If BP is high and it is not time to take BP medication, should medication be take early?
