Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's your blood pressure ?

Good for you Jim. The first 10 pounds is the hardest. The doc tells me 120/80 is a good place to be, 130s and 80s aren't that bad.

Several years back my BP was through the roof, they took me in the back room and had me lie down when they checked it when I went in about another minor thing. iirc it was around 225/125, they were a bit freaked out. They put me on BP meds that brought it down. Further testing found a whole bunch of chit wrong, years not seeing a doc and not taking care of yourself will do that I guess. I cleaned up my act started eating better and in my case it was best to give up the sauce too. Within 6 months with all that, and probably more exercise too, and I was able to ditch the pills, down around 130/80.

seriously..........do you check your BP ?

if not....splurge on yourself.......$30-40 on Amazon

simple to use.......easy to check your BP at home........

Could save your azz...........

103 over 60 as of 30 seconds ago.

92/60 pulse in the 50s usually.

Been a couple years.

Kent

Itty bitty titty committee...

Ho-Lee-Fūk!

Stroke two years ago. Checked mine just now 128/76 pulse 70.

117/74 or thereabouts is normal for me. Modern medicine at it’s finest. 😜

Cute, but a bit shy on tits. 😏

Bacon, ham or sausage “everyday” with 3 eggs and hash browns. Blood pressure, I know that it’s a little high....but, it would be a lot higher if I didn’t get to eat my routine breakfast! memtb

she may make up for it elsewhere.........

112/80 and 55 bpm resting pulse

My doctor said the 80 is too high and is considered pre-hypertension

Must be that good Idaho air, mine was 106 / 60 at my physical last week. Pulse in the low sixties. Nurse had to break out the manual cuff and stethoscope because the gizmo couldn’t find it.......

Which reminds me, I need to take out some sausage for breakfast.

124/74 69 pulse, only medicine i take is estrogen.

After driving to town and waiting in the office it's on the low side but normal for me.

Have had attacks long ago when the two measurements were the same and the rate was 172.

Freaked out those in the er where they took me.

They gave me two doses of some kind of meds that was supposed to stop it.

The second double dose did the trick.

Spent two days and over 14,000 bucks to find out i have a third nerve that when stressed kicks in.

When coughing like when the pollen get right .

The blood pressure folks ask me what kind i have and i tell them boringly normal.
They agree.

Went to the doctor last week for a wellness check

128 over 78.
Pulse 56
Oxygen level 99%

Not bad for nearly 57 and no medication.

Nice, my Wife ran a test and chilled me down back in the obongo years, she purposefully engaged me in a heated political discussion, every man here knows how our women can push our buttons if they want too, after five minutes of me thinking she had completely lost her mind and was ready to sear a t-bone on my forehead, she pulled a cuff from under the coffee table, slapped it on me, 190/110 pulse 90, I yanked the thing off and ask, so, what was the point of this little pop quiz!!?\

She said calm down dear, don't let the 'stupids' kill you, then they win. she's a pretty smart chicken.

121/78 78 pulse

Not bad for having a few cocktails.

And to be honest with everybody I struggle to keep the CDL in the physicals. Still legal still have it. Most of my stress is metal related right now with all the factors going on what's In My Life of people I know.

135/85 at the Dr isn't high IMHO. It was not long ago that 130/70 was norm. They keep lowering the number. I told my doc one day its going to be so low for the norm I'll be dead if I'm normal. He laughed.

Mine floats from about 120/60 to 145/90 appx. I'm not loosing any sleep over it.

Testing it. I can do it myself. But I know my body and I can tell if its up and needs checking. Even when its up its not serious. But I am aging like all of us.
