Early this year


Why don't people count their pulse instead

It's easy and requires no device except stop watch from your phone


Gently place 2 fingers of your other hand on this artery.
Do not use your thumb, because it has its own pulse that you may feel.
Count the beats for 30 seconds, and then double the result to get the number of beats per minute.

Your systolic and diastolic blood pressure are high.

Just recently. They said it's low. What can I do? Is low BP bad?
Re: When Last Did You Check Your Blood Pressure? by LivingSage: 5:12pm On Jun 13, 2023
Checked twice last month when I felt some changes about my body system.

The first result showed 129/88, was told it's okay by the health practitioner until mom who came visiting said it isn't normal.

Had to recheck a week after and it was 121/77.

Aside overthinking Not sleeping for like 6-8hours in 24 hours could lead to hbp.

Checked mine yesterday.

A friend went to the hospital for checkup and the doctor told him his BP is really on the high that he could suffer a stroke if its gets higher. He was admitted and on medications now.

We need to constantly check our BP. It saves life

Most people wouldn't know they are already 160/120

Is this your blood pressure reading or something else? If it is, then it is extremely high especially the diastolic value. Infact, both

Everyday. Buy a smart watch for either Samsung or iPhone and you won't need to go to a doctor to check your blood pressure.

True talk. But have you wondered how many of them died of mysterious illnesses that were wrongly attributed to witchcraft? Sickle cell children were tagged Abiku/Ogbanje. People died after "brief illness". It's good to know "your numbers" as you can immediately become aware of any changes to your health from changes/variations in those numbers

Not a doc, but that 142 is not good at all.

I have never checked my blood pressure since I was born. My Life is Good and great.

Nothing gives me high BP.

Awwwwn kiss FTC. I dedicate this to all wealthy and rich men that don’t run away from ordinary 12k bill. May your pocket never run dry.

Broke men can go and receive their prayers from the Last to comment (LTC). Shame!!

This type of thinking, " I am very okay: I am good and healthy" etc are exactly what makes Hpyertension a silent killer.

If you love yourself and your loved ❤️ ones, please find time to check and regularly too.

Hypotension (low blood pressure) is also not good. It killed a friends sister in 2021

Does the Apple watch series three have the capability to check BP?

Yes, it's almost knocking engine... Most people wouldn't know... Carelessly, I checked and that's what I saw. No symptoms, nothing nothing... But I am taking treatment and I am now conscious of it. I pity people who don't know anything about blood pressure. Most people are on that level and they don't know

Regularly checking your own blood pressure offers an important glimpse into your health and gives you the chance to keep your heart and brain in good shape.



Yet most of us who would especially benefit from this habit do not monitor our numbers at home.


I don't know what really happened with me oo, for the past four months, anytime if I check my BP it will shows 140/90, and I tried all my possible best for it to reduce but all in vain.


I will appreciate clinical advice from my Doctor friends here.

My love, always check your BP.



Don't wait to get a warning stroke before you begin to check all these things.



You know I love you too much.

With all due respect sir, eating well and sleeping well.does not prevent your from high BP.

What is your definition of eating well?
How old are you and what are the things you eat that means eating well to you?

Eskis sir, the funny thing about HBP is that most people that have it feel okay and feel nothing.

Someone educated to your own level should be more enlightened than this.

Take time to check once it a while. If not for your own sake but for that of your loved ones.

I'm not a doctor but your systolic is slightly elevated....might be due to stress. Monitor it from time to time as the normal value should be 120
