What Is High Blood Pressure? -->


-->Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is atrest (diastolic pressure). It's measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). High blood pressure (or -->hypertension -->) is defined in an adult as a blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure or greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure.
High blood pressure directly increases the risk of coronary heart disease (which leads to heart attack) and stroke, especially when it's presentwith other risk factors.
High blood pressure can occur in children or adults, but it's more common among people over age 35. It's particularly prevalent in African Americans, middle-aged and elderly people, obese people, heavy drinkers and womentaking birth control pills. It may run in families, but many people with a strong family history of high blood pressure never have it. People with diabetes mellitus, gout or kidney disease are more likely to have high blood pressure, too

yeah that is high.. i got sent to L&D for something close to that.. i think mine was 139/82 or something like that.. they sent me there to be checked and when i got the hospital it never went up.. did they check you at a doctor appointment today or something and it was that high?

yeah i would ask them also.. just make sure that you take it easy and dont get stressed over anything.. dont get in a hurry or anything like that or it will make your blood pressure go up instead of down.. so just take it easy.. but ask tomorrow and see what they say.. everything should be fine though..

yeah my doctor was like that at first.. she didnt want to tell me anything.. she would measure my uterus and not tell me what it was measuring at unless i asked.. then when she would do the heartbeat she wouldnt tell me unless i asked also.. so i got tired of it one day and told her that i would like to know what is going on with my body and my baby without having to ask her everytime and from then on she would tell me everything that she was doing and everything that was going on.. maybe you should have a talk to your doctor and tell them that you have concerns and you feel like they are being very helpful..

yeah blood pressure has been bad with me too this past friday it was 150/100 then they had me lay down and they took it again and it was 142/100 then I had to go to the hospital so they could moniter it. I think they might want you to watch your blood pressure because women that have preeclampsia have high blood pressure, swellling in the hands and feet and see "spots".
