*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*
Just got back from the polyclinic.
The doc gave me some codeine sulphate pills for my migraines.
He took my blood pressure. It was elevated: 140/90.
He was also so stunned that he kept repeating the procedure again and again with the old-fashioned sphygmomanometer and stethoscope (Bear would know what I'm talking about). In the end, he told me to come again next week for a follow-up. -
140/90 is still in the acceptable range lehOriginally posted by fudgester:*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*

The maximum healthy blood pressure is 130/80.Originally posted by hisoka:140/90 is still in the acceptable range leh
That's according to the posters posted all over the polyclinic. -

nay the normal systolic is between 120 to 140 and diastolic is 80 to 90 unless they just changed the definitions around.Originally posted by fudgester:The maximum healthy blood pressure is 130/80.

As you can see, I just barely overshoot both the systolic and diastolic requirements to be considered as prehypertensive.
Individuals with a systolic BP of 120 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic BP of 80 to 89 mm Hg should be considered as prehypertensive and require health-promoting lifestyle modifications to prevent CVD (cardiovascular disease).
And no, I was in a pretty relaxed state when the doc took my BP. -
what's systolic and diastolic? as in, what do they measure?Originally posted by hisoka:nay the normal systolic is between 120 to 140 and diastolic is 80 to 90 unless they just changed the definitions around. -
pre indicates normal anyway each individual is different.Originally posted by fudgester:As you can see, I just barely overshoot both the systolic and diastolic requirements to be considered as prehypertensive.

and erm did you try the coffee method? -
You sure?Originally posted by hisoka:nay the normal systolic is between 120 to 140 and diastolic is 80 to 90 unless they just changed the definitions around.
I've been trained as a medic spec, and the systolic BPs of all the report sick personnel I've performed triage on have hardly ever breached 130.
And the medical literature I've been reading says that normal systolic is 130 and diastolic is 80, tops. If anything, some sources cite even lower figures.
Even the good doctor himself was sufficiently stunned at my BP reading to retake it several times.
The source I just gave should clarify things further. -
systolic is your blood pressure when your heart contracts
diastolic is your blood pressure when your heart relaxesOriginally posted by MooKu:what's systolic and diastolic? as in, what do they measure? -
Systolic: maximum blood pressure when the heart is in a compressed stage.Originally posted by MooKu:what's systolic and diastolic? as in, what do they measure?
Diastolic: minimum blood pressure when the heart is relaxed.
A reading of 140/90 means that the systolic pressure is 140mmHg, while the diastolic pressure is 90mmHg. -

The source I just gave should clarify things further. How can your BP be possibly higher than mine?
esp with your healthier lifestyle -
OH.
Finally, the mystery unsolved.
Is low blood pressure a cause for concern? -

I totally believe fudgester is under alot of stress, because obviously he studies too damn hard.
Everyday he comes online and tells us he's hitting/going to hit the books. That's not normal leh
Don't get me wrong fudgie, I think it's great you're so studious and take your work so seriously
You will go far. You're everything I could never be!! T__T

Let's see...Originally posted by av98m: How can your BP be possibly higher than mine?

I don't smoke.
I don't drink booze.
I jog 5km three times a week.
I'm only 23 years old.
My BMI is 21.5.
There's no history of high blood pressure or heart disorders in my family (as far as I know)....
So maybe I've just been under a lot of stress lately. -

well all things considered, maybe its just that 140 is not yet hypertension though abit unhealthy so they label it as normal. -
