Blood Pressure Problem! Urgent Help Posted: 04-12-07 08:23am
Please advise pertaning to my situation
i also wrote down here my doctor's
inspection and his suggeted treatment as
well as the progress of sympton
use feel nervous and being panic very
regular. However the most disturbing
sympton caused comes from my heart as the
panic makes my blood pressure were getting
very high.
Recently, I came to see a doctor and he
advised me to go on a diet of salty food
as the medical checkup revealed no
physical evidence to connect to any
disease. However, my blood pressure was
still very high nomatter how long I try to
rest, I could not pass the blood pressure
measurement test
i did try as the doctor's suggestion but
somehow the diet made me more drowsy and
less active as I also feel lacking of
energy in all of the work. I even feel
that my blood pressure went down a lot
slower than normal but the situation was
always reversed when the clinicican
measure my bp. Beside that, my body was
also usually being shaked without
controling when making normal interation
with strangers, it was not just common
nerve but also the overwhelming fear of
unknown factor
may I ask what disease I am currently
suffering?
Another problem involves in the reading of
digital blood pressure monitor device ( I
bought the model omron m2). I want to ask
how to read the index on it as the doctor
ussually takes the first heard stroke of
blood pressure as the systolic index and
the last hearing as the diastolic.
However, my digital one seems to work so
different although I saw the number start
to flash from 140 or more when
deinflating, its final result indicated my
bp in the normal range (i measured at home
by myself) 110 for systolic and 67 for
diastolic
so I would like to know the exact method
to read the index on the digital monitor?
Will it be less accurate than the mercury
based one?
Why my bp stared to flash from 140 but the
final result depicted the systolic as 110
instead of 140?
What is the highest pulse of a male adult
? What is the optimal value for it?
Thanks for your kind attention

Sounds like you are dealing with al lot of
Anxiety over your blood pressure. I have
gone through some of the systoms you have.
First of all worring about your blood
pressure can bring it up. I have white
coat systoms. everytime I have to get my
blood pressure taken by a Doctor it is sky
high. When I take it at home it is fine.
It sounds like your monitor is working ok.
I'm not sure why it is flashing like you
say, but the end number seem ok. I would
continue to take your blood pressure. Take
it different times of the day. Wite them
down. If they are high you need to tell
your Doctor. Drink LOTS of water. Water
flushes out the kidneys. And will help
with your salt in take. But, to much salt
brings up the blood pressure. Try to cut
back.
Good Luck

Yup! i cut off more than expected the salt
intake. I said so because everyday I only
eat one meal and stricly prohibit any dish
may potentially contain salt. However, the
side effect caused me to be less energetic
and tired due to hungry feeling.
My concern is that why the first flashing
number is not as low as 120 but was 140.
More freakly as the result used the
different number to plugin my BL index. i
thought a lot but still can not figure out
the method that this BP digital is using
as it sounds very strange comparing to the
mercury based one( unfortunatly, my doctor
prefers mercury based so I could not use
the record measured by digital one to
convince him on my situation). is there
anyone know the algorithm being
implemented in the OMRON M2 BP digital
monitor?

Mike,
I think I would call the place that makes
you monitor. That would be the best place
to find out how it works. Even if you
reading is 140 and not 120. 140 isa litlle
high and you should be somewhat concerned.
But it is nothing to get to upset about. I
think just less salt might bring it down.

You eating habits can have a direct effect
on your blood pressure. When you body goes
to long without eating your bp can raise.
Why?...I have no idea. I suggest you try
eating a few small well balanced meals
troughout the day. I'm pretty sure it will
have a positive influence on your bp.
