Is My Bp Reading Ok?

[hollie1586]

My bp at rest this eve is 133/58. Is this ok? Im 30 yr old.

this might help, then take into account other health factors and any other meds, what's going on in your life right now http://bloodpressureok.com/reading/133-over-58/

Top end not too high, bottom end a bit low. Do you do a lot of exercise? My exercise-fanatic daughter has a bottom end of about 60 and a top of 90-ish (she's very healthy, but extreme re. fitness). If you are not like that re. fitness, I should ask my GP if s/he is OK with it. T.B.H. that's the best thing to do anyway. S/he knows you.

I agree, I don;t check my own bp, but wonder what caused you to check it this evening, are you feeling ok? maybe if the gp too long a wait, pop into local chemist, they're great. I do have high BP and am on meds for it, I know when it's not right because I get a feeling like there are little black threads when I close my eyes. Floating like a kaleidoscope

I felt a little light headed but i know i dont drink enough during the day and i suppose that wont help. Only had a about 2 small cups of tea today. Just drank a pint of water. My usual bp is around 128/65. Very prone to anxiety too. Worry over little things alot

You are right to drink more, make a real effort, please. Definitely make an appointment with your GP.

Don't let your bp reading cause you more worry, you're right to drink more water, just get that appointment sorted - look after yourself hollie, put your feet up now and try elevate them higher than your hips
Good night, I'm off to bed xx

Drink more water and then your BP will increase

That is a "one off" BP reading and as such, looks fine to me.
Your fluid intake looks fine.
Am I missing something?

Is there a reason you are checking your BP?
It seems to me if you are prone to anxiety the last thing you need to be doing is checking your BP that is likely to fluctuate and cause further anxiety.

[ummmm]

My doctors have a BP machine in the waiting room. My last reading was 110/50 and the doctor didn't bat an eyelid at it.

If it was me and I was worried about it I'd see my doctor not come on here looking for answers

[ummmm]

But sometimes it takes weeks to get to see a doctor.

133 / 58 doesn't seem too bad, except you're 30, so your blood pressure reading should be closer to 120/80. Check this tool to evaluate your blood pressure levels: https://healthiack.com/blood-pressure-calculator
