What is your blood pressure?

Mine is whatever they call 'normal' for being 36.

It used to be high a few years back when I was still drinking. Even when I stopped. But I then started a treadmill, better diet, weight lifting, being more active.

Blood pressure back to normal. My GOOD cholesterol is above average. I still trying to get down whatever it is that shows early diabetes warnings. I was 110 last time I was in. It's hard to cut out all sugar.

I get tested twice a year with blood work. Have to check to make sure liver is in good order, and no cancer from 10 years of drinking and chewing.

4+ years now. Showing some progress in better health. More importantly, better stamina in and out of bed. Stronger. I no longer get winded. Not as easily tired out.

So on... and so on...

Still working on losing weight, and have a way to go. So I just keep plugging away.

not sure on my cholesterol level

did you take any meds for blood pressure or it became better only because of lifestyle changes?

80/130 pretty good, probably because i have a healthy lifestyle

144 / 89 now, pulse 72 , a little better already

anyway, will get it checked anyway

bump for gfy doctors

That's pretty bad for your age, but I would guess you are doing it wrong, or are you actually in a pretty bad shape? are you doing it at home?

normal... 120/80

120 / 80 heartbeat 70

mine was pretty bad last year.. got put on bp meds

lost weight, got it to hover around normal

been gaining a lot of weight lately and not doing much

it's the highest its ever been (top # anyways)

160/90 pulse 61

ps I just had a NOS

Yicks, that is not good. Time to get your butt to the gym.

just rechecked after sitting fora few minutes

132/85 pulse 62

136/81 !!

It was 120 / 80 last time I was checking (last year). I doubt its like that now.

110/65, it's always been really low.

Mine has always been excellent. So good that I received "compliments" about it constantly (hey, when you're my age you take compliments any way you can get them).

Since I had surgery a year ago, which has now been shown to be 1. botched and 2. needed only because of errors by the hospital, it's been crazy high. I have to check it 2 times a day and call my Dr. with the results every week and if it hits a certain point, to head to the ER (in a different hospital than the one that did the surgery ;) ).

Lifestyle change.

Treadmill 3-5 times a week for a min. of 2 miles.
Working out with Bowflex same 3-5 times a week.
Walking the mall.
Also more fruits and veggies as well as those Healthy Choice meals.

No meds.

A little on the low side - 120/60

mine is about 95/65. too low

when Marina calls my cell phone my blood pressure goes up cause she is the VP of Sexy Voice!

I am calling Polish Aristocrat right now

Im measuring it right... doc measured and it was the same

average 150/95, heart rate around 75-80

yeah, Im in bad shape, just calculated my BMI and its 28.4

I want to lose 45 lbs and get in shape. Sitting in front of the PC, not healthy and irregular eating, next to none exercise etc... all had their effect.
Hell, if I'm trying to go jogging, I get tired very fast and my heart beats like crazy.

Seen a doctor yesterday, did some blood tests, results soon. Will do some other tests as well.

Sucks...

Start off walking The fresh air will do you good. They say unfit people should aim for at least 20 mins 2-3 times a week. Exercise should be built up gradually. Jump in at the deep end and you'll only injure yourself.

i also have a high blood because of all of the pressure that life has bring to me.

Exactly right.

Two-three years ago or so.. I would go out to the mall, or shopping with the GF. Nothing major, just in and out of car going into stores, mall, a lot of walking. I would be WHIPPED in no time. I would get winded climbing more than 2 flights of stairs and almost collapse from lifting anything repeatedly, or for any duration.

Keep in mind I was coming off years of drinking, so I was in bad shape to begin with...

Basically, this kind of stuff had be worried. In my early-mid thirties, I should not be feeling like this. I went out, and bought a treadmill. When I first started, I could not go 2 miles an hour for more than 10 minutes. I would then need a nap.

I would get up, and try again for another 10 minutes, and be whipped. I would require a lot of sleep as well. All the activity would make me very very tired. That said, I stuck with it. I bought Miami Vice on DVD. The series. So I would have something to watch, and take my mind off the treadmill part. Over time I went from 10, to 15, to 20 minutes at 2 miles an hour. In roughly 3-4 months, I was increasing my speed and elevation. I picked up 24 (I had never watched it) and would start watching through all seven seasons. In no time I was up to 4 miles an hour, 4 on the incline, and working 30-40 minutes 3-5 times a week. Depending on the season.

After a year or so of that. I bought a Bowflex. I started working on that as well. That is ONE advantage to winter months in MI. You have a few months of cabin fever, so doing this is actually a nice release.

I started working out on the Bowflex 10-20 minutes a few times a week. Mainly just working on arms, stomach, chest, back. In no time I started getting stronger. I still had that period where I would be sore, incredibly tired, and need naps. But over time I was getting stronger, and I would go to the malls, amusement parks, golfing and would not be tired at all. I started outlasting my friends in energy. My sex drive improved. Good cholesterol went way up, and blood pressure back to normal.

I also started eating a bowl of fruit daily. Meijers (chain grocery store) has them, so I buy a bunch. Also a few salads through the week, and that Crystal Light Raspberry Green Tea. I can't drink water straight for long.

While my weight still fluctuates 10-20 lbs through the year based on my activity levels. I am now stronger, have more endurance, do not need naps, can climb a flight of stairs, walk an amusement park all day, among other things and no longer be whipped.

This winter I will try and kick it up a notch to manage the weight and drop some. However, the DR's have told me I have made a lot of progress from a few years back. Better yet, I no longer take Xanex or have anxiety for the most part. I still get it when I go to the shows, or fly. So I will take it then. But that's it.

Mood better and more consistent. Stronger. More endurance. But it takes time, and you have to stick with it. Even if you do not feel like it, try and knock out at least 10 minutes on the tread mill through the day.

Doing something is better than nothing.
