According to some studies more than 50 million of people are suffering from high blood pressure in the United States of America. The major trouble with being a high blood pressure patient is that nobody can make out if you are suffering from it. That is, one would seem perfectly normal with this disease. And this very fact makes it even more dangerous a disease.
It is also seen that 30 per cent of the patients suffering from high blood pressure don’t even realize that they are suffering from it. Therefore a high blood pressure patient needs an immediate treatment. Otherwise, the disease may start affecting their body parts and prove lethal in the long run.
Stroke, the third most hazardous disease in the western world, can also be caused due to high blood pressure. Nowadays, the most common life threatening diseases are also caused because of high blood pressure. Indeed, it has been observed that heart diseases have taken more than 5,00,000 lives in the United States alone.
After seeing the dangerous effects of high blood pressure, which shortens a person’s life by up to 20 years, a new name has been assigned to it– The Silent Killer.
After having a look at the effects of high blood pressure, it is must to recognize and diagnose it as early as possible. In order to ensure that the percentage of sufferers from this disease is lowered down, the level at which high blood pressure was considered normal has been decreased and also given a new term called, “Pre High Blood Pressure”. To check the sufferers at the lower level only is the main objective of this move.
Now, most of the medical practitioners take 115/75 mm Hg as a base point and the raise of 20 point in the upper figure (the systolic pressure) or decline of, say, 10 points in the lower figure (the diastolic pressure) are seen as danger points.
In case you get a minor hint of depression or stress, get yourself checked thoroughly so as to prevent things from worsening. High Blood Pressure, if diagnosed at an early stage, can be avoided.
To treat this ailment you need to bring in some lifestyle changes including your eating habits. This will keep your high blood pressure away and a combination of proper medication with it will necessarily cure your problem.

Is 111/70 low blood pressure…??
Im usually 125/80… some where in there. Went to the dr today to find out if i am pregnant. I have a mirena iud, but ALL the classic symptoms of pregnancy – 3 weeks late for period, queeziness, cramping in lower ab, lower back pain, "gnawing" in stomach in am, bleeding gums (never had before, take care of my teeth well), heartburn with normal diet no changes…etc. Anyway, maybe you can "think" up some of that but then when they took my blood pressure it was low for me, and both of my first pregnancies i had low blood pressure too. I wont know til tomorrow if im pregnant cuz they made me do a blood test cuz urine testing wouldn’t detect an eptopic pregnancy this early, and i had takin an at home test and it said neg.
Oh my, sorry to ramble on…. So questions are: is that blood pressure low and do i sound pregnant to u?? Thanks all in advance!
That blood pressure is normal. During my pregnancy, my blood pressure was consistently 110/70. After I gave birth, it has been consistently 120/80.

That is a great blood pressure! Normal is 120/80. I have been down to 96/50 and they weren’t worried. I was! Sounds like you could be pregnant. I hope if you are, it’s eptopic! I heard that can hurt like hell and be very dangerous if not caught in time. It sounds like you did catch it in time though.

It’s not low blood pressure. 110 is very normal, actually, healthy.
I’m not sure if you’re pregnant – could be either way.

not a low bp

Your blood pressure sounds great to me, but considering you usually run a little higher, then yeah it’s cause for attention. Any sudden change like that in either direction you have to investigate.
But it does sound like you could be pregnant, all the signs are there plus your blood pressure pattern matches your other pregnancies. Hope that blood test comes out the way you want it to. GL

Not he blood pressure is good, 120/80 is perfect, so you are good. You sound like you could be pregnant. Good luck and I hope you get the answer you want.

Blood pressure for most healthy adults falls between 90 and 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Normal diastolic blood pressure falls between 60 and 80 mm Hg. Current guidelines define normal blood pressure as lower than 120/80. Blood pressures over 130/80 are considered high. High blood pressure increases the risk of developing heart disease, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis), eye damage, and stroke.
