High Blood Pressure Scaring Me

Post a new topicby Just Worried on Sat Oct 20, 2007 4:14 pm

My husband has had high blood pressure for a while and I am having problems with him when it comes to taking his medicine. Today his blood pressure was 172/115 and I'm not a doctor and I know that blood pressure this high has got to be affecting him. If anyone could help me understand this situation anymore I would appreciate it.

Hi friends, recently I was examined for blood pressure and I found the reading 120/70. I don't know anything about blood pressure but I was told that I have low blood pressure and possible hypotension. I suffer from depression and anxiety. I am quite nervous. Though I am extremely athletic I run swim go to the gym and practice karate. Right now I am bit worried about my self, plz help.

If he won't take the meds on a regular basis they won't help him. If he is taking them regularly and his bp is still that high, it's time for a visit to either his doc or the ER if it's after hours.
