Does anyone.

I've always had great blood pressure but today I went and took it at the Walmart solo health and it said fair 124/77 what does that mean? I'm worried I'm dying now. What am I going to do.9 am I okay? Will I be okay? My anxiety is sooooooo high now that I seen that. Ugh

hello I don't think you have anythng to worry about, the higher number is the systolic reading and the lower is the diastolic reading. Systolic is the pressure of when the heart beats/contracts and the diastolic is the pressure when the heart is at rest or between heart beats.

The reading from what I have looked up is ok, I think you only need to be concerned if it is persistently over 140 systolic or over 90 for the diastolic.

One slightly high reading doesn't necessarily mean you have high blood pressure, your blood pressure can change minute by minute from simple things as change in posture, exercise stress or sleep.

You wont be dying with that blood pressure reading

Also just the act of taking your pressure can make you feel anxious and give a higher reading, I always used to think that when the doc took pressure readings thinking it's not an accurate picture. They have a booth at my docs where you can sit in the comfort and take as many readings yourself; I took about 4, the first was higher then each time I relaxed a little more and the readings were lower so it just goes to show that the higher readings were just because i wasn't sitting relaxed enough.

I hope you are feeling ok anyway and don't worry

Well if you were wLking around then took it then that's the of cause of it being there.

But im confused because mine everytime i go to the doc its 118/70 around there and they say its great/good

I believe your reading is normAl range

Wait sit in the booth for a few minutes and take it again.

I know I tend to freak when I get the tightness of the machine, that can elevate it.

You should be okay.

Do you have health issues??

[megs90 in reply to Hidden]

I took it four times. The tightness always freaks me out. I don't believe I have health issues, I have health anxiety though bad. Thank u for the replies. Honestly helped me calm down a lot.

[Hidden in reply to megs90]

Hi Hun ,believe me those readings are quite good,bp fluctuates througout the day,don't worry

Hi megs!

Wow if I could have that blood pressure! I'd be happy with that. But you gotta be careful with shopping centre blood pressure readings and doing it yourself... I have my own monitor at home. If it's not done right, you can get a wrong reading. BUT, I still would be ok with that one you got!

Yeah, this bloody anxiety is really hard to shake. I've been very ok for many weeks now, but lately, it's started to come back. Awaking through the night, panic and shakes etc. Not severe though, thankfully. Those severe attacks were some months ago, and once I got on top of this condition and told it which lake it could go jump in, the attacks are nowhere near severe, almost un-noticeable.

Firstly (or is it now secondly?) you aren't going to die just yet! From one anxiety and panic attack sufferer to another, I know that for certain, unless you go out and prove me wrong by getting hit by a Mythbusters bus!

I agree with you..... UGH!!

Hang in there, you can get past it!

Peter.

124/77 is perfect. No worries.

[Hidden]

That number is beautiful! Don't be worried. One time, after a biopsy, mine was 155/115!

[ngyyyisex]

like others said, it is actually perfect!

my blood pressure was 150/120 few months ago from a panic attack/anxiety

[megs90]
