What is your Blood Pressure/Heart Rate?

[zipdoa]

I started measuring mine and recording the info every time I hit a Safeway. I was suprised by my heart rate:

[theken]

last time i checked I was 100 over 60 and my heart rate is around 60

[eglove]

Mines around 98/80/60 yay hypertension!

[cet]

Last time I checked I think mine was 102 over 58 with a heart rate of 52.

[D'z Nutz]

We had a health check at work earlier in the month. I was at 141/72 and then 137/65 5 minutes later. 72 bpm

[403ep3]

Don't remember exact numbers but I was Optimal/Optimal/62?

[littledan]

i think last time was 115/70 and around 55 bpm

[JRSC00LUDE]

I didn't realize anyone knew this lol

[1-Bar]

My resting HR is about 60bpm, and my BP fluctuates between 120-140/80ish depending what I ate, or what I'm doing.

OP either you're a small asian female, or a very healthy athlete! :burnout:
Your HR is in marathon person territory :thumbsup:

I went to the Doctor after this one. It was when I was 40, three years ago.

I'm on blood pressure medicine now.

If I'm not mistaken, Zip is a beast!


This thread made me realize I should check mine as I have no idea what it is.

[Khyron]

102/54, hr is 43-49 depending on recovery.

[CLiVE]

Just had an annual physical. 110/70 41HR.

used to be around 130/80 and 60HR before I started Triathlon training. :clap:

Smaller people / mammals heartbeats are typically faster the smaller they are,,,

I went to the doctor the other day after falling off a ladder in my garage and they took my blood pressure. It was 143/90 which seemed high to me. The doctor presumed it was high because it was first thing in the morning. She told me to take it at night sometime at home. I had forgotten about this until tonight and took and it was also 143/90. My dad just told me to take the meds for the rest of my life and it will be fine. Any other beyonders 40+ have this.

Proper technique is key for an accurate measurement of your blood pressure at home.

Here is some information that you may find helpful:

For an otherwise healthy individual, we are looking for a target home blood pressure of 135/85mm Hg or less, measured morning and evening, for 7 days. First day values are to be discarded.

Have the Lowest Possible Nurse find a cuff for the sphygmomanometer that actually fits your arm, correctly.
I had the same bullshit high numbers turn up for me a few times until I pointed out that the cuff looked like it was for a toddler and I'm the size of 5+ toddlers.
Bigger cuff. Boom. Normal result.

I know a lot of people with higher blood pressure. Mine has mostly been boring for 10 years at 120/80 and resting heart rate of ~60. That heart rate isn't great, should do some cardio exercises.

It’s always been normal at safeway so maybe I will go try there

I think all the free blood pressure machines are shut down these days. My local ones are. Germs and shit, bro.

I watch mine regularly as I have a bicuspid aortic valve. Annual physical was 124/80 which is better than what I get at home. Hr is normally 53. Pretty happy with my blood pressure as my dad has been on meds since 24. I’m getting close to 40 and no meds needed

[nzwasp]

I took it again at home right now after resting for 10 mins+ and with only my tshirt on. Last night I had a sweater on as well (unsure it makes a difference), the result just now was 124/80 which is better. I guess I need to test it regularly.

Yeah. It's usually a range. I was 140/95 but losing 20lbs puts me back to 120/80.

[mr2mike]

Get your other levels detailed too.
There's correlation of high BP with higher uric acid levels which are diet related.
Correct your diet and bp drops possibly without drugs.
I'm not a doctor though.

What is the value in watching it in relation to that?

Rapid changes in blood pressure aren’t good. I monitor it weekly, can’t recall if the specialist asked me. Maybe it’s a mental thing to pretend life is normal.

Thanks. I am always interested in hearing people's thoughts. I have one too but I pretty much don't even think about it and have the "one day they'll eventually replace it no matter what" mindset so just take a dgaf approach basically. Not saying that's "right" or anything, just what I do. Other than an annual to bi-annual checkup.

[JohnnyHockey13]

I measure mine as least once a week, just bought a cheap $25 one off Amazon that has a USB connector so I don't have to worry about batteries.

One thing I found is to make sure your arm is elevated and resting on something at the same level of your heart, otherwise, if it's too low, it will always read higher than what it really is. Also, don't use one with a cuff that's too tight, or it will be reading too high as well.

I was put on BP meds before and it fucked me up hard. Losing weight and better food it is.

[Lex350]

I'm out of shape right now. Had it checked earlier in the week. 120 over 79......not as good as previous years. I need the gyms to open up again!!!

Rick Johnson, professor of nephrology at the University of Colorado, explains how his research into the causes of blood pressure resulted in a change of research direction to focus more on how fructose has such profound metabolic effects. Rick begins by talking about the relationship between salt and high blood pressure, then provides a masterclass into uric acid, and then expertly reveals the mechanisms and pathways by which sugar (specifically fructose) can profoundly impact metabolic health.

[ExtraSlow]

How's aspartame?

[scboss]

Checked today 109/76
RHR 57

On another note I've had a few clients that have gotten off of of BP meds for good. They never seemed to feel good on them, either always light headed or BP to high. From what i've seen though lifestyle changes make a massive difference no matter how long you been on them
