My 70 year old mother gets a bright pink ring around her scalp.  She has High BP.  Is this a bad sign?

Yes it is bad, but it's NOT from her blood pressure. She in serious danger of dropping dead of a heart attack or stroke ANY MINUTE with blood pressure that high. It's just not acceptable. Take her to the emergency room NOW.

Yes, my mother had it since she was in her twenties. She had six children, two coming after she was diagnosed. We are all grown and my mother is now 80. She is actually doing much better now than she was during the early times.\n\nI doubt if there's any serious side effects to be had in your unborn child. I do wish you well and much luck with your condition. I don't wish this on anyone. God bless.

I'm not a doctor but I've seen this on one of those shows like ER & Grey's Anatomy. You can bring her to the doctor and ask him to tell you. They can find out by using a machine.

My mother had a stroke in November. Following the advice of an herbalist/nutritional expert, she has been eating four stalks of celery per day. My entire family reacted to the celery recommendation with "NO, that's high in sodium!" There are different types of sodium in different types of food. Her blood pressure is coming down daily! She is going to her doctor on Feb. 14th for her check up. I think he will be surprised at her progress.

Sounds like Raynaud's Syndrome.  My mom and I both have this.  I've heard that there are some meds you could be given, but you're really best to just do your best to keep warm.  It's not usually harmful, but do talk with your doctor about it, as it can be a symptom of other circulatory problems.

Mine was not, but I have a friend who's' daughter was.  They said it happened because she had her carpet shampooed when she was a new born?  Then she had to have heart surgery.  Very scary.  But she is now 15 years old and doing fine!  No problems.

Your mom may be having an allergic reaction to the dust or mold stirred up by fans or AC. If she has a tendency to develop asthma, the cold air can also irritate her airways and make her short of breath.\n\nDizzy spells can be a symptom of low blood pressure. Ask her when she gets these spells (where, when and what she's doing at the time). That will help narrow down the possible causes.

No not really.. Bottom number is good. Usual BP reading is 120/80. The top number is a tad high but nothing to stress over. Usually BP depends on height and weight. Also depends on what you eat, if you exercise and maybe if your parents have the same problem. Watch your salt intake if your worried about it Good Luck!

My mother had these same symptoms, and they were caused by an anti-depressant.  If you are on blood pressure meds, this could be the source, also.  At any rate, you should check with your doctor, as we cannot diagnose you over the internet, even if we were doctors!\nGood Luck.

Not always.\n\nI am no where near the age of menopause, and yet I have at times experienced hot flushes. It has something to do with a hormonal imbalance, but it's not usually something you need to worry about I don't think. If you're unsure it's probably best to see your doctor about it. Sometimes it can even be something to do with your skin type.

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.

nothing to worry about. there can be reasons like heredity, but not really due to stress and all that other bs. your hair loses the pigment and turns lighter. mine is turning really white and started when i was about your age!  i love color. highlighting masks it better.

As long as its not a "ringing". That is a symptom of high blood pressure at times.  Squeaking may be fluid in the ear....not sure. Call your doctor to be sure.

It has all the sounds of a problem with good blood circulation. Yes, you should be concerned about this.
