Blood pressure.

[anxiouslady13]

So I'm carving Halloween pumpkins with my daughter and all the sudden i felt very faint. So I layed down and put my feet up. Then after about 3-4 mins I checked my blood pressure and it was 140/95 then I checked again after one minute and it was 146/91 then I checked again after another minute and it was 129/82. I am afraid of passing out in front of my daughter.

My normal is 153/90 and docs say no point taking meds’ for it as ain’t that high, relax hun you are fine

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Hidden]

Oh wow I would be in a constant panic if mine was that high. Thank you though. Your bluntness made me laugh

[Hidden in reply to anxiouslady13]

Oh sorry i didn’t mean to be blunt, how I see it is blood pressure basically means ya heart is at least working lol x you will be fine

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Hidden]

No need for apologies. Its refreshing when someone can be straight up. Sometimes I need to hear truths like that.

Blood pressure spikes can go very high , believe me 200/110 I have had many times . I feel faint , sick and my vision goes Smokey . Just part of anxiety

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Jodz]

My "high blood pressure" doeant seem so high anymore. It was weird to feel faint when it was up high though. Is that normal?

[Jodz in reply to anxiouslady13]

Everyone is different how it makes you feel . You can feel faint as your not used to it being high

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Jodz]

That makes sense. My anxiety makes me feel a lot of random sensations.

[Jodz in reply to anxiouslady13]

Yes I’m hearing you . They change all the time , it sux

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Jodz]

Right? Once I get used to certain symptoms, others will pop up out of nowhere and start the whole vicious cycle over again. It's endless.

[Jodz in reply to anxiouslady13]

Sure does . And it scares the shit out of me

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Jodz]

Me too.

[Jodz in reply to anxiouslady13]

What’s your main symptoms ?

[anxiouslady13 in reply to Jodz]

Its always changing but worry is my minds "go to"

[Jeff1943]

Nathsam is right, those 3 readings are nothing to worry about bearing in mind you were a bit anxious when you took them. The only way to get a correct reading is sit down for 5 minutes, don't eat immediately before, put on the cuff and raise your arm to heart level, support your arm, feet together. Then take three readings at 2 minute intervals and divide by 3. That's your blood pressure, in the u.k. the normal limit for upper is 140 over 90, in the u.s. the limit is 120 over 70 but only because the pharmaceutical companies successfully lobbied the American Medical Association to reduce the limits for normal thus bringing them millions of new customers for bp meds. I always say to Americans 'if you've got high blood pressure come and live in England and you wont have high blood pressure any more.'

[Hidden in reply to Jeff1943]

In the uk the docs give you a machine to check ya own bp 2 times a days for 7 days, it’s weird that when u first check it your anxious and it’s crazy high, you right that you need to sit for 5 mins and just relax as if not it will show on the results 👍🏻

[Jeff1943 in reply to Hidden]

I had one of thise things on for a couple of days that inflated every half hour and took your bp, it's totally impractical to sit down in time for the reading and the sudden shock of this thing unexpectedly inflating caused the bp to shoot up. I think it's value is suspect specially for anxious people.

Wow... I had no idea thats how it was.....

[Renac]

[lourocks]

Might of been your sugar or dehydrated passing out is from low preasure bloid pressure may not give u any symptoms at all

[anxiouslady13 in reply to lourocks]

[anxiouslady13]

MollyStark I would react the exact same way as you. That why I have also chosen to do things like diet change and meditation and I do therapy. I truly appreciate the members that take their time to help. I feel like this group has helped me more than any med would. Buts that's just me personally

[lourocks]
