What is high blood pressure

I always measure my BP when I go by eckerds. It is always in the lowest range. Yesterday I did it and it was 150 over 69. It said to high was 140. How bad is this and what do I need to do.

I don't know but the 69 is good number lol.

all depend bro.. alot of things can change your BP.. like caffene, tobacco, and what you might have had too eat.. and stress is in there some place.. i do the same thing and if it comes back high on the machine just wait two or three mins and re test,, sometimes it can be the machine.. if you have high bp for a month or long to see the doc

I have High Blood pressure.You dont have to be to concerned right now...Thats not too bad...when your bottom number gets in the upper 90's then you need to tell your Doc...My Doc said he is more concerned with the bottom # than the top. If you are on AS it can and will raise blood pressure but shopuld return to normal afterwards.Here is an informative link

oh and yes alot of things can cause High BP like ephedrine,caffiene,stress(stress not proven though) etc...but for the most part,its either hereditery or from the gear..FINA made my BP sky rocket....170/110!!

You guys ever FEEL your BP? LIke at night when you're laying down and you can feel the pressure in your ears and stuff? Am I a myocardial infarction waiting to happen?
