if it stays above 150 syst that is considered hypertension. over 100 diast also. Youre borderline. been taking in enough water? sick? 'on'? is 160/99 normal for you? diff. breathing? sharp/dull? are you tall?

More than borderline bp, you have to get medication to bring that under control, youre at risk for a stroke. I stress test people all the time to assess risk of heart attacks and we wouldnt put them on the treadmill with 160. Problem is diastololic pressure goes down with exercise, but systolicc BP goes up. SO if youre working out alot youll bp will be over 200. You want be able to control both sides of your body dont you, strokes arent fun.

Most chest pain that we see is esophageal reflux. Nexium.

Speaking of stimulants I found an old stash of ephedrine a coupla weeks ago, been taking it since. Only a coupla tabs left, not like I really care, but is that stuff like illegal now throughout the whole US?

Well I guess it is pretty easy to make meth out of it, I spose going without serves a greater good. I dont care about if people do drugs for the most part, but meth ruins people, bad stuff.

Is there a difference? I think its the same stuff. Whatever it is, users look and act like shit, leeches mineral from teeth, ruins theyre hair, skin. Screws up there thinking and brain. Course, Im not talking about just recreational use here.

brothabill- he's not that high dude. Many people are there... not that it is good, but what he needs to do is see a doc, eat right (not nexium- we don't know it is heartburn or reflux), exercise (not quit exercising), and get it down. He won't have a stroke... don't freak em out. See a doc- find out what is really going on- we can't tell from here.. good luck

Never said he shouldnt see a doc, I thought that was implied when talking about getting meds for the bp, prescription thingie. Not trying to freak em out, and never said he was going to have a stroke just an increased risk, but it does significantly increase the risk of it as well left ventricular hypertrophy (increased heart attack risk), renal damage, etc... I know this to be a fact since I see the results of untreated hypertension everyday. They dont call the silent killer for nothing.
High bp causes changes to the arterial elasticity making it more likey to have a cerebral hemmorhage. well accepted medicine. Untreated hypertension, number one cause of strokes.
Just saying that patients I see in a cardiology clinic or the hospital I cover for chest pain, its either skeletomuscular or esophageal reflux, we then conduct a stress test to rule out heart disease, either a stress echo, or nuclear thallium stress test, or we take them to the cath lab (gold standard) if the symptoms sound right or if enzyme studies indicate or ekg changes are seen. Nexium is whats given for the esophageal reflux, quick post, but I thought thats how people would perceive it as what I meant.

And exercise is a good thing, didnt tell him to stop, but it does cause an increase in systolic bp, and 160 with exercise will go over 200 which puts a person at risk for acute cerebral hemmorhage, just a risk a person need not take. thats simple enough advice.
