I was just at home this afternoon and i just decided to know my BP. It reads 146/78. I think it's not okay or am i wrong? I proceeded to use a BP evaluator online i was told i have Isolated Systolic Hypertension based on the info i supplied and that my systolic blood pressure is elevated {dont even know what it means}. The mention of hypertension is giving me headache. Doctors Pls am i normal? Help somebody

Relax that's all

School life, academic worries etc are bound to make it go up

Don't fret over nothing

you didn't specify your age range neither did you specify whether you rested a while prior to carrying out the test. B.P tests are best done by a medical personnel or someone who knows how to run the test in the morning after you wake but still in bed.

Can you take some 2 days off and rest? Switch off your phone and just sleep, don't think of anything just rest

You're having high blood pressure close to hypertension levels. visit a good medical doctor asap. Don't neglect this warning pls. you may be placed on medications to manage your high blood pressures after a battery of tests.

Actually i'm yet to resume for the new session and i don't think i go thru any stress at the moment as i'm still at home.

you guys should know high blood pressures are as a result of the following:
1. serious illness could raise blood pressure,
2. exercises such as simple walking or dancing could raise it temporarily,
3. obesity can do same,
4. lack of rest or inadequate rest and sleep,
5. lifestyle such as smoking could
6. family medical history and traits of high blood pressure may have transferred to you during birth,
7. anxiety, worrying, shock, temper, and mood spikes could trigger it.

No thank you

I have always been hyper active from childhood

I am a workaholic, I don't sleep beyond 2 hours , I smoke so I know I have alot of issues that can make my bp high

Having said that your concern is much appreciated

The life we choose

Slowly but surely, you're killing yourself. Better stop that evil lifestyle. Even after the 6th day, God rested.
