Blood Pressure
Posted: 08-01-05 13:34pm

When I went to the hospital with chest pains about 5 months ago
and had my blood pressure measured it gave a reading of about 150 over something and this was the same when I went to the doctors and and the hospital again.
I am only 15
i am assuming it is so high because of being anxious and stressed at these times and was just wondering what other peoples blood pressures were if you were measured at the hospital
(mainly towards those of you who have gone to the hospital with symptoms)

Delancy, I can tell you're a very anxious person. You need to have your anxiety addressed first. Even more than your physical problems. You're obsessed with the thought of possibly having diseases. Normal healthy people don't obsess over that.

You will die but realistically, the odds of you dying is very slim in your age group - only 1 out of 1000. That's it. Very slim and most of the deaths are from accidents and preventable diseases, not heart diseases.

Anxiety always causes high blood pressure. If you're anxious about your blod pressure being monitored, it will cause "white coat" syndrome.

Optimal pressure is around 120/80 or less.

Blood pressure usually go up to 190/80 when you exercise. That is good. If a dialostic pressure (the second number) increases, it signals a problem. If a systolic pressure doesn't increase by more than 40 while exercising then it signals a grave warning - expect death very soon and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to treat or reverse that problem.

You may look into lexapro. It may be effective for your anxiety.

why would a person take their blood pressure during exercise? I go to the gym, and I have never seen anyone running around with a blood pressure cuff hanging from their arm. Lol.. K, but now ya got me worried sayin all that !!! How in the heck would you know if your blood pressure rose or not?

Mitch, I also had a PA in my docs office! My BP went way high. I was just so nervous about discussing my anxiety with her. I have spent my whole life hiding it from the world. It was good tho, cause she really got to see my problem first hand. Honestly I think she would have made a great psychiatrist, she made me feel so much calmer. That's when I went on Cymbalta. It has been so good for me. I can think clearly and the old tapes in my head just don't turn on anymore.
