well high bp or hypertension could have several or no symptoms. When referring to you bp there will be a systolic/diastolic pressure at your age i would worry more about ur diastolic the difference between the two is as follows the systolic pressue is the pressure excerpted against ur arterial walls when ur heart contracts and diastolic is just opposite its the pressure when ur heart relaxes so its bad to have a high pressure when ur heart isn't working because it will be even higher when it does .And if u get red or light headed when u stand up or sit up it could actually mean ur dehydrated and u have a positive ortostatic bp rise when u stand up. however if u r really concerned about it i would check with ur doctor and see it could be controlled with diet or fluid in minor cases..hope it helps

Some people are symptomatic with high blood pressure.  They will experience chest pain, headaches, vision changes, neurological defects (such as numbness, tingling, weakness).  If you have any of those symptoms you need to see a doctor.  You can always go to your local drug store where they have free blood pressure machines set up.  Also if you have associated risk factors you may want to get checked up.  These include diabetes, previous/current heart disease, smoking, high cholesterol, type A personality.

because these are the only two measurements done with a routine manual blood pressure reading.  now if on a blood pressure monitoring machine, there is a mean or average blood pressure.  however, the basics are the top number or systolic and bottom number or diastolic.  the systolic is the heart when working or contracting; the diastolic is the heart at rest.  a high diastolic is more significant due to the fact that a hi diastolic creates more pressure in the arteries to move the blood to vital organs.

High systolic blood pressure (the first and higher number) appears to be a significant indicator for heart complications, including death, in all ages, but especially in middle-aged and older adults. In fact, elevated systolic pressure may pose a significant danger for heart events and stroke events even when diastolic is normal, a condition called isolated systolic hypertension . The wider the spread between the systolic and diastolic measurements, the greater the danger. Isolated systolic hypertension is the most common form of hypertension in people older than fifty; in one study it comprised 87% of hypertension cases in people between ages 50 and 59. \nConsult cardiologist.

No not really.. Bottom number is good. Usual BP reading is 120/80. The top number is a tad high but nothing to stress over. Usually BP depends on height and weight. Also depends on what you eat, if you exercise and maybe if your parents have the same problem. Watch your salt intake if your worried about it Good Luck!

Normal blood pressure for an adult is 120/80mmHg.More than 30 above or below this value of 120 and more than 20 above or below this value of 80 is abnormal.This means 90/60mmHg may be normal for a non-pregnant,healthy adult female,and 140/90 for a healthy adult man are all within normal limits.\n Below 90/60mmHg,one is hypotensive or has low blood pressure.\nAbove 140/90mmHg,one is hypertensive or has high blood pressure.\n This is a useful guide,but there are other factors that are taken into consideration which are too complex to fully cover here.\nHope this helps you.

Extreme stress, tension, and pressure which causes your heart to beat faster which requires more blood, the less you have gives you high blood pressure. Also, not enough blood to the facial veins. Also, chest pains could be caused by high blood pressure. Best to check with a doctor, the give free advise over the phone.

My honest feeling is the BP readings taken are not correct. Such high and low changes are next to impossible. You need to tak him to a cardiologist for evaluating the position and treating him. Blood Pressure - high or low - is termed as silent killer. Please see the doctor without delay. \n\nNow a short note from Wikipedia about BP for your inforamtion -\n\nBlood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood at right angles to the walls of the blood vessels. Unless indicated otherwise, blood pressure refers to systemic arterial blood pressure, i.e., the pressure in the large arteries delivering blood to body parts other than the lungs, such as the brachial artery (in the arm). The pressure of the blood in other vessels is lower than the arterial pressure. Blood pressure values are universally stated in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The systolic pressure is defined as the peak pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle; the diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle). The mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure are other important quantities.\n\nTypical values for a resting, healthy adult human are approximately 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic (written as 120/80 mmHg), with large individual variations. These measures of blood pressure are not static, but undergo natural variations from one heartbeat to another or throughout the day (in a circadian rhythm); they also change in response to stress, nutritional factors, drugs, or disease-

systolic  blood pressure is the pressure inside arteries when your heart  is  in the filling stage and is  usually 80\ndiastolic blood pressure is the pressure inside the  arteries when your heart has just  pumped its  contents and is  usually  120\nthe pulse prssure is the  differance between  the systolic and the diastolic  blood  pressure is 120-80=40

My wife had high blood pressure and is pregnant with twins. This is dangerous for them and it is actually supposed to worsen as a pregnancy goes. We have prayed every day since our first appointment when it was at 150. At two months to go, it was supposed to increase but has now dropped to 128 (better than an average pregnant woman).

there is no direct relationship with the two, however is does not mean that both cannot be elevated, high blood pressure is caused by many different things , and something the cause high blood pressure may sometimes also be equated to having cause a higher hemo count. but  the two are not directly proportionate
