BP Values Question

[jagerbombme]

my bp has tested twice at 122/56

i realize the 122 is fair or good, but why the 56? what does this tell me? is it lower because i exercise and lift and cardio? it used to be 120/70 which i think is picture perfect. anyone know, all i can find is under 80 is good, hehe, well 0 cannot be good and i think 56 is pushing the low value threshhold for the bottom number

ya, taking MBI Nitric Oxide. i wasn't though 1 month ago in the ER, i was on Test Prop though which i'm sure yields even more nitrogen retention than NO. in the er on test prop it was 120/52. doc said it was fine but everyone i say they say, man that bottom number is low?

To get a real accurate BP reaing you need to take it several times throughout the day. Then take the avrg of those readings . Blood pressure can fluctuate up to 30pts at different times.your diastolic number is indeed below the "normal" range of 80 but may be completely normal for you.

I would get it tested regularly over the next month and keep an eye on things. Low blood pressure can be very dangerous.

Take it again.

Well if you start fainting or passing out due to low BP that might be of concern but other than that I wish mine were that low.

Not low enough to be a problem from the people I know that have "normal" BP even lower than that. You may get tired easier though.

my partner has blood pressure that is usually bout 90/60. They said it is only a problem if keep fainting which sh does not. It just means you will probably never had problems with high blood pressure and the problems it brings.
its a myth that low blood pressure is dangerous and if you dont believe me google it and see.

well my sister has a low second numero as well and she has to take a teaspoon of salt with her breakfast. for a man though that is a low number i think. anything under 80 is good. shit when i was trying to graduate and was on dbol and test i was 140/110. i am usually 120/70 as well. at target i'll test 125/76 or so, it says right on there for arms under 13 inches which we both do not fit in. so its gonna be a bit off on there. you might think about getting one. my father has serious bp and he owns one that fits his arm. he works out like me just a bit shorter than me with the same build, and finally losing his six pack at 60 years old.

Good point on the arm cuffs on the bp machines at the stores, besides the cuff being too small they are notorious (sp?) for being inaccurate. I've got a wrist cuff on my bp moniter at home and it is usually dead on with my bp at the docs when I go in, so these are a great alternative.

i hear you guys, only thing is i seen it at the hospital test out at 120/52, so when i see 122/56, i asssume its close. maybe not, maybe ill get a monitor when i got some extra denaro
