Actually, the 100mm of Hg is a pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure; that is, the "total" blood pressure is actually 860 mm of Hg, which is (860 - 760) = 100 mm Hg greater than atmospheric pressure.\n\nMany pressures are given this way, in terms of the pressure difference from one atmosphere.  In that case, 0 mm Hg is simply atmospheric pressure, not a vacuum.

It depends...What is the systolic reading?  Do you have negative symptoms like dizzyness?  Joggers, athletes...people who do arobic exercise may indeed have lower BPs compared to standard and this is good.  The "mean" blood pressure" is the systolic and diastolic added together and divided by two.  BP of 120/80 has a MBP of 100.  The average acceptable MBP is 100, however the healthy normal for some may well be lower.  The best way to answer your question has much to do with your own medical history and the incclusion of possible negative symptoms.

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.

Have your blood pressure checked.

Low BP lower BP than the ideal 80/120.Low BP is common in athletes to some extent.What you say seems to be state of moody or depresion state.This may not be due to low BP.If you suspect low BP better check up with a doctor and take his advise.Becuse low BP is dangerous as high BP.\nIf you are just moody only ,develop friendship,cultivate habots of reading listening to music or atart a hobby.You may not require an anti depressant if you do these simple things

High systolic blood pressure (the first and higher number) appears to be a significant indicator for heart complications, including death, in all ages, but especially in middle-aged and older adults. In fact, elevated systolic pressure may pose a significant danger for heart events and stroke events even when diastolic is normal, a condition called isolated systolic hypertension . The wider the spread between the systolic and diastolic measurements, the greater the danger. Isolated systolic hypertension is the most common form of hypertension in people older than fifty; in one study it comprised 87% of hypertension cases in people between ages 50 and 59. \nConsult cardiologist.

That's funny, one of your previous questions stated that you were 42.\n\nNow you are 69? \n\nI think you have considerable grounds to be questioning your blood pressure, having suddenly missed 27 years of your life... \n\nBut, seriously...\n\nBlood pressure is measured via two values - systolic and diastolic. Systolic is the peak pressure in the arteries, and diastolic is the lowest pressure. \n\nThe typical values for a resting, healthy adult are 120 systolic/80 diastolic (120/80), but the range is quite big: between 90 and 135 for systolic, and between 50 and 90 diastolic is considered healthy (90-135/50-90).\n\nBlood pressure commonly rises in old age, so if you think yours is low - or for piece of mind - then get yourself checked with the doctor.

blood pressure.  The viscosity factor is present in the flow equations.  The flow number is than in the equation governing cardiac output.  You see viscosity affect blood pressure, but the equations relate it to the amount of energy needed during each stroke of the heart.

Sounds like a job for Wikipedia!\n\nBlood pressure is the pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels as the heart squirts it through the circulatory system.   When your blood first leaves the pump (your heart) it's moving as fast as it's going to, and there's as much pressure in the system as there's going to be.  The farther from the heart you go, the less the pressure in the system (just like an irrigation system, or the plumbing in a house.)\n\nThe heart not only has to pump the blood out to where it's needed, it has to pump it back again, to run it through the lungs to pick up some more oxygen so it can be recirculated.  Blood pressure is much lower on the return trip, when the blood is way out there far from the pump.  The outbound system is your arteries, the return trip is your veins.  \n\nMostly when you measure blood pressure, it's the pressure in the big arteries that are close to the skin and easy to find without poking any holes (the brachial artery in the arm is an example). \n\nThe traditional way to measure blood pressure is in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg), and you always state it the same way so everyone knows what you're talking about.  From a medical point of view what you're interested in is how much pressure there is in the system when the heart isn't squirting new blood into it (at the "resting" phase or "bottom" of the heartbeat cycle) which is called the diastolic pressure; and then how much pressure there is in the system at the top of the cycle, when your heart is forcing new blood into your arteries, which is called the systolic pressure.  So the "top of the cycle" number goes on top, and the "bottom of the cycle" number goes on the bottom.  A typical reading for a resting, healthy adult is around 120/80 (meaning 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic)\n\nHope this is what you needed!

Sounds like blood pressure to me....and I am 40!  LOL....But you don't have to be "40" to get it.  If you are stressed alot, you can get it.  It is even hereditary.  It is also nothing to mess around with.  You should see your doctor and get checked.  ASAP.

As you have mentioned in your question, different sources will show different ranges for hypertension. However, almost all of the studies and medical text books, agree on that the blood pressure above 140 mmHG systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic is a risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases.

It does depend on your age and your health. This is kind of high. Sometimes your blood pressure can go up temporarily for a lot of reasons including stress or pain. Since you're checking it every day, and if you see that it is at or more than 130/90 consistently, you should see a doctor and show him or her your results. Usually that's what a doctor would do, have you keep a log before they put you on medication. There's also something called white coat hypertension. That's when you get stressed just having your blood pressure checked and it goes up. The best thing to do is always check with your doctor if you have a health concern.

Generally, blood pressure will be lower at the higher parts of the body--in this case, the leg is likely to be higher and the arm lower.\n\nNote that the most accurate reading of your blood pressure for medical purposes is at the level of your heart.  That's why it is normally taken at the upper arm, which is about the same elevation as your heart.\n\nGood luck!!

It means a number between 5 and 200.  You might have to round to the nearest number if it doesn't take decimals.
