Ever check your blood pressure?

[mrpeepers]

Yea you guys will probably think, "Why?"

Anyways i know its not the first thing us guys (mostly) will think of checking in terms of their health, but it is a good indicator of your health/stress status regardless if you are a mid 20's male in good health.

I just took mine yesterday at resting 2x and it was.......140/100:eek:

Yea that was 1 on each arm. Right now i am 5'8" and 190lbs. I think i am around 20% body fat so it is pretty average, plus i used to work out. My BP should be around 118/70 and lower if you are more fit

Currently my diet is beer, beer, and more beer. Being in nursing school really kills on the time i have to be active. The only physical thing i do is tennis 1x a week and alot and i mean alot of sex haha (this is probably the only thing keeping my weight in some sort of control)

Anyways after finding that out yesterday it was a RUDE awakening i can't keep this shit up. i gotta get out!! So if you guys get the chance definately check your BP especially if you are a beer guzzler hahah.

Peace and health

I took a physical a few weeks ago and the doctor's assistant said everything was "perfect."

I play baseball and basketball a few times a week and work out 4-5 days a week on top of what you do, so I guess I'm good?

I'm 6'0" and 155lbs. My body fat was 7% on one of those really fancy scales.

I had over 2000 calories at BK two days ago. A #3 (triple Whopper, medium fries, medium Coke) and a Hershey's pie. Yes, I'm a fat ass.

Being overweight is like the American way though. It's just way too easy to drive 5 minutes and pick up an unhealthy, full, fast-food meal.

crazy this popped up.. yesterday my friend called me in the hospital *large heavy guy* and he said he wasnt feeling well and he had a high blood pressure 163/103 or something and he just let him out this afternoon.. They suggested he start looking at loosing weight and relieving stress etc..

I used the automatic blood pressure tester thing at Walmart. Stage 1 hypertension... Time to lay off the salt :\

I'm 5'9 @ 170 with 13% bodyfat last year.
Went for a checkup and turned out to be 145/ something.. i think it was around 100 too. I was pretty tripped out. I went back a few times and same thing. Dr. almost prescribed medication but i told him to wait a while so he gave me two months to improve my condition.. I ate healty food and it turned out to be normal again. I heard it was common for 18- early 20's.

My shit is legit.

118/70

As always pretty much.

[MaD1337M3DRiV3r]

One time they were checking blood pressure at work i was like 70 over 50 with my heart rate at 45... but they said it was normal. I was 150lbs at the time.

[turtl631]

Lol, what? HR 45 is reealllly low, as is 70/50.

I've seen docs get pretty worried about BP that low.

[Rnz520]

90/45, its really low but its because i am always so calm according to the doctor.

some peeps actually have low blood pressure. i have been in the medical field for over 8 years. B/P is only like window to the rest of your health. it's the check engine light if you will.

[luisgonz]

I dont even want to know But they have told me That Im going to die young. Good for me,

[mRclARK1]

Mines always been slightly higher then normal. It's pretty rock solid though no matter what shape I'm in. It's never worried me.

[Dirty Habit]

Mines off the charts with the shitty food, super smoking and 67 hours a week ive been pulling for work.


All work and no sleep make Habit go crazy.

i was at the doc last week it was 132/84 or something there abouts.. doc diddnt seem to be alarmed. usually I'm around 120/80. Hypertension runs in my family though, and I'm a wound up person so I'm sure it will eventually blow up.

Started my monday off with a big bowl of cheerios hahah. The stuff is good for removing cholesterol in your arteries which is another cause of high BP
