Blood pressure question...?!


Question: Blood pressure question!.!.!.!?
I'm 22 and my blood pressure is currently 155/85!. I'm fit and healthy and it isn't usually this high, but it has been for a while now (2 months or longer)!. My HR is 65bpm, resps 14bpm and oxygen saturation 99-100%!. I just don't get why it has gone up, what are the potential complications or what can be done!?

I'd prefer answers from professionals because I am a nurse myself and don't need basic answers!.!.!. thanks!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Identical thing just happened to me!. Not overweight, exercise daily, treadmill daily, eat well!. Doctor checked my blood, all is fine!.

My parents had it, my sister has it!. In my case it's genetics!. I've averaged 115/65 all my life!. I actually hit 191 / 110!. That explained my headaches and blurred vision!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

THIS IS A BASIC STATEMENT

If you are a nurse you know the answer!.

155 do you think it is cause for concern!?

I have real cause for concern that you appear not to have even grasped the BASIC CONCEPT of what is or is not an abnormal blood pressure reading!.

God help your patients for if you ARE nursing them than He is their only hope!.

If YOU REALLY ARE a nurse and I knew which country you practiced in I would ensure that you were reported to your national regulatory body!.

This lack of elementary knowledge you ARE an absolute danger to all and any you come across!.

Are you taking patients blood pressure and then recording it in the documents with absolutely no clue what it means!?


Later addition!.
(I have read the paramedics answer and I am absolutely stunned that he would feel that medication would be given to you with a BP of 155\85!. perhaps he did not read the bottom figure properly)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are you still in school!?

The fact that you're worrying about having your blood pressure too high might cause false elevations when you take it !.!.!. due to anticipation!. Or, even nurses can have white coat hypertension!. Perhaps its the profession itself!.

However, if you are a nurse, you don't seem like a very resourceful one!. Everybody lies, right!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have the same problem!. Ive been a firefighter/paramedic for eight years now!. Im healthy, fit, active!. My resting pulse is usually 57 or 58 and resps are right around 12 or 13 per minute!. Unfortunatly My BP runs around 145/105 when im at rest!. That can be a problem because Ive never taken it while I was in a fire but I can bet its quite a bit higher!. Captain wants me to go on meds for it and I probably will eventually!.


After reading some of these answers I had to add that any "qualified nurse" would understand that a BP of 155 is problem for concern!. Some people are so freakin stupid, any way best of luck man
I would tell any fat, unhealthy person to eat better, lay off the caffiene and salt, but it sounds like you know better already!. Unfortunatly for people like us, the only answer might be medsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Although you can get an accurate blood pressure reading at any given time, blood pressure isn't static!. It can vary considerably in a short amount of time
