Hello? Anyone know what this blood pressure all about?
Mine is only 140. But my this friend went for a blood pressure test...

he got 230!!!?

So, the hospital immediately asking him to be hospitalised and check.
What does this means?



How to make blood pressure lower????

high blood pressure due to:
eat food lots of salt
stroke
lack exercise
lack water/fluids
temper-quite common

How to make lower?
opposite the effects

thanks... actually he is thinner than me... but blood pressure is so much different. One thing for sure, he seldom exercise...

230 wtf ? Should be machine rosak la .. 230 confirm comma ( or watever spelling that it ) oredi la .. the blood vessel in ur brain sure pecah ... normal i think it's 120/80 ... juz my personal view .. not 100% accurate

normal is 120/80

your friend is 230.. almost double .. u say need to hospitalize or not leh?

better checkup

***I said something here ***

Get a 2nd opinion. Maybe hospital just fake it to increase revenue (ok this is just a pointless accusation).

btw, edifgrto...ur bp is high too

actually...there's a study that proved that weight and size does not determine how high or how low ur blood pressure is...as a matter of fact, thin people tend to have a higher chance of high blood pressure

touch wood...
Touch wood!!!!!!!!!!! Please take back everything you said!


I was really surprised loh...
Really my bp also high?! Last time I go checkup for my insurance. That doctor said me very healthy bp leh????!?

cause my friend 150 already got hospitalized . ok ok I take it back

Your bp is on the high side cause normal 120/80 only. It's not high enough to be life-threatening but just be careful ya

you're mixing the cause and effects... also one of the symptoms leading up to high blood pressure is water retention, which is what increases blood pressure, so lack of water/fluids is inaccurate.

Actually thats true of cholesterol level as well, age, weight and size isnt a good indicator. I remember when I just graduated from uni, I was quite slim but my cholesterol was way off the norm. So its always good to do a check up yearly regardless of how old/thin/fit you are.

Means... not matter how much water we drink. If water retention of our body not stable. Still would got high blood pressure?

He this coming Thursday going to stay in hospital for 3 days. Now got something to settle down...

O MI TO HUT

what?

Well i guess the 5 great causes are

- Diet
- Stress
- Genetic conditions
- Renal Failure causing over hydration
- I forgot the 5th.

Well, assuming it's that insanely high, maybe you could suggest your pal pop some calcium channel inhibitors down his throat since you said obesity isn't an issue and sometimes stress is unavoidable. Stress management courses and regular exercise help alot too. Exercise helps by stressing the aorta and major veins and arteries so that they don't stiffen over time and give into IIRC Chirosis or was it Fibrosis?

LOOOL!!!!!!
Yes, WHAT?!?!?!

230 he stroke liao lar
die liao

maybe not accurate leh

I think he meant amitabha or something(the buddhist chant thing)

What! He should be warded immediately, not delayed like laaer after settling other issues. Best BP reading should be having both dystolic and systolic? If a person is excited the top reading can go very high. After resting a few hours should level of.
