HIGH BP

The symptoms should come on and off. The main thing is not to worry too much over it and don't get yourself under too much pressure or stress... At your cur...

Buy a BP monitor and check regularly every four hours or so…. if still high, check every 2 hours… still high check every 1 hour.

dibilo SG

go see a specialist and dont worry too much. some teens do have a higher bp. anyway, just go do a check on ur cholestrol level. you should be alright.

dragg SG

BP is higher when you are sick.

thanks my cholesterol and sugar level normal. and i did threadmill echo last year in July 05 and result shows normal, i am insecure, i guess after doing echo and normal in july 05, i should not be worry right? just need some reassurance. now my chest upper area felt tight and hard to breathe too,i really hope it is ok right.

Patrik SG

How old are u?
Do ur parents have high bp?

Somethings the heart beats faster to burn up excess cholesterol.

It has nothing wrong as long as you don't feel any discomfort in your heart.

High BP will not kill you before all the worrying kill you off. So now you have a new worry in addition to all your other worries; "Will my worrying kill me?"

DO SOMETHING and not just worry. What will stop the worrying? Do it. Other than seeing the doc and going to A&E.

Ah Cek SG

problems in BP can happen to pple of any age now!

parn SG

The main reason for your high BP is likely to due to not having enough rest for your body. You need to rest more and sleep more for your BP to recover back to normal rate.

Good luck. Smile

Don't think that would be necessary lah... Unless the doctor recommends it...?

Devil1976 SG

Why do you always visit the A&E?

So what did the doctor said about your '170/99'?

casino_king SG

He sounds like a hypochondriac … something for him to do instead of being stressed out for nothing.

If this related to your current lifestyle (e.g like sleeping late or insomnia) like taking a break.. have plenty rest...

I also experience this when i have the above problem.... when u are better .. try some exercise

Maybe u can try take some calcium, magnesium supplementary which say it helps to regulate the heartbeat.

Devil1976 SG

I suspect you might be having some very mild valve prolapse problem... Not enough to cause serious problem but enough to let you feel its presence...

If you're really uncomfortable about it, go for cardio check when you feel there's a need to....

Don't worry too much about high BP as you're still quite young and it can flactuates...

PS. You might wanna visit a different specialist centre next time if you feel you want a 2nd opinion.

How old are you? hopefully u r below 40.

Anyway...maybe drink more liang teh...herbal tea...remember not to eat too much fatty foods, and seafood and others with high chlorestrol...

Also exercise regularly...else maybe can play some sports like bowling, table-tennis, karaoke...etc if you are the passive types. Very Happy

nightzip SG

ask the doctor for any recommendation of medicine that can lower the BP...i know there is...

Also maybe can visit the local town gym for some light exercises or decide to join some course by CC etc..like social dancing, karaoke, qi gong, etc...

Dont work too hard, dont sleep too late, have at least >7hrs of sleep daily. Eat healthily...and dont OT too much... Razz

Chest tightness can be a dangerous warning sign in some suggestive of heart or lung problems, namely an heart attack or angina. However i dont think that you should be concerned in your case having excluded a cardiac cause of the chest pain by threadmil. I suspect that in your case it is mostly likely psychogenic, and it is best for you to seek the advice of a psychiatrist and to avoid stressful events in your life if possible.

Fluctuations in bp is very common and we are usually concerned about average blood pressures. Extremely high bp can be brought on by a lot of factors including sickness, lack of sleep etc. However you have to make sure that you take anti-hypertensives regularly and go for regular checkups to make sure that your bp is well controlled
