i am a nurse practitioner. something that could be going on is that this BP reading is TOO LOW for this person. they need to see a healthcare professional and be thoroughly evaluated. They will ask questions about normal BP readings for this person, risk for strokes, risk for clogged arteries, and even evaluate for something as simple as excess fluid in the ear. Only someone seeing this person in real life can help well.

Too much of it will cause high blood pressure, know from experience

This is a serious problem, as diabetes affects circulation "down there" the same way it does in the toes, etc. And high blood pressure medication can cause erectile problems.\n\nAsk your doctor if you can use Viagra. That usually helps a lot. But many men who have both conditions also must skip their morning blood pressure pill to be ready for sex in the evening. Ask your doctor if it's okay to do that once a week, with or without Viagra. Yes, there is no spontanaity that way - but it beats no sex at all!

You seem to be experiencing pressure from either wearing the wrong shoes, which are to tight or you may need to see your physician. You could be an undiagnosed diabetic. If the problem is severe enough to ask questions in this format, it would be beneficial to check with a health care provider about it. Either way, you should have the problem checked out before you have more severe problems develop.

Wearing high heels doesn't help the blood flow through your leg effectively. Most would recommend that you wear low-heeled shoes ..one inch or less. However I don't think that occasional wearing of heels would cause a problem. Other things that contribute to varicose veins are standing for a long time and crossing your legs.

Was this a "self test" or one supervised by a doctor or cardiologist?  If it's a self test I would advise you to see a doctor before getting on a treadmill again.  In fact, see a doctor anyway.  That's a very high blood pressure.  An increase in diastolic blood pressure of more than 10 mmHg (optimal is <120) during or after exercise represents an unstable form of hypertension, and may be associated with coronary artery disease.  At 236 you could be classified as well above third stage hypertension.  Really, see a doctor.

hey hun...if they were extremely tight as well as high then you may have cut the circulation off to them and that will definitely cause you to loose your nails...if the new ones are normal colored and having no pain then i don't thank there's any reason for a doc...but make darn sure you throw those shoes away!...love daisy

You should go to see your doctor. You could have high blood pressure. My kids get bloody noses often. What helps is to keep the lining in your nose moist. Also, while it's bleeding, I apply pressure and a cold on there foreheads and back of there neck. Sometimes on the top of their head too. I put neosporin in their nose, to keep it moist, and it helps. Try it. Good luck!

Yes I agree this is a serious problem because it is a symptom of high blood pressure. you should see your doctor if you also have headaches or blurred vision or dizzy spells,and your legs hurt after a mild exertion.\nIf you think it is not high blood pressure then cut way down on your salt intake and you can buy at the health food store or even some of the drug stores and wal-mart(of course)\ncarry in the pharmacy section the herb dandelion. It is a good thing to take because not only does it help you as a diuretic it also is one of the riches sources of potassium there is. Another is called yarrow, not as effective but pretty good, and this one is simple to get and cheap ,good old celery ,especially the leaf tops are a diuretic of a mild nature.\nYou need to watch it very carefully if you are taking anything that has a diuretic action that you don't lose too much potassium along with the water. This can be a life threatening condition.Your heart has to have the correct amount of potassium, sodium, and calcium in your blood to make the electrical connections to your muscles(your heart is a muscle)to keep them working smoothly. If you have muscle cramps you have lost too much and you need to immediately eat a banana or an orange or juice and get to your doctor as soon as you can.\nMy best advice though is not to fool around and go to the doctor and let him decide the best thing for you.

I think that your arteries must have a lot of plaque in them...  The reason why your legs get tried when you walk is there is not enough blood getting to your muscles so they cramp up.  It sounds like you may have a pinched nerve in you back also but it could be plaque or clogged in your Aorta.  Have you tried getting on medicare or going to free clinic?  I think that you really can not ignore your problem if they can find where the clog is then they can just bypass the area and the blood flow will start to flow normal again!   It is usually a pretty easy thing to do!  \nAre you diabetic then you should make sure to control your blood sugar, Do you smoke?  if you do then Quit!  it is only making it worse!    I wish you better health and better days =-)
