blood pressure reading of 140/64. Concerned?

The 140 is borderline and 64 is terrific. Not to worry you won't have a stroke at 140/64 but most docs today like it around 120.This can be corrected with weight loss, if necessary, lower your salt intake, that can really help. And the doc may put you on a water pill.

No it is not possible to have a negative blood pressure. The book probably made an error. It would be impossible to have no blood which is what a negative means. A number less than zero. They were probably just seeing if you were going to change your answer to your problem. If you had it would have been wrong.

That is way to high especially for a 15 year old.  Your normal blood pressure should be 120/80 and 135/85 is considered high.  You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Your pulse should be fine a normal pulse is 60-100 beats per minute.  However, as I said before you need to see a doctor, blood pressure that high can kill you.  By the way if you took your blood pressure through those machines that they have in stores they have been proven to give incorrect numbers, but to be on the safe side go to the doctor.  I wish you luck!

Normal blood pressure is considered to be 120/80  Higher than that up to 139/89 is considered prehypertension.

The latest findings suggest that normal blood pressure for anyone should be less than 140/90.  Any blood pressure that stays higher than that for a prolonged period can cause problems that can lead to heart disease and stroke.  Many people have fluctuations in their B/P that cause it to be higher or lower at times depending on activites, but a consistantly high B/P should be treated medically before problems arise.

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.

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.

If you are a young girl that is perfectly normal and please don't measure your blood pressure at home. Forget about it and enjoy your life unless of course you are feeling unwell in any ways\n\nDon't worry about it! Perfectly normal

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.

Wow!  If you eat healthy then there's really no logical explaination, other than genetics or very high amounts of stress, for your blood pressure.  I never had blood pressure issues until I got pregnant with my daughter.  Mine was 200/110.  Thankfully, with medication it's under control.  I hope and pray that someone can help you.  Being a Mom is hard enough.  Good Luck!

Probably your blood pressure would be high.  However, if you are in doubt, have a doctor check it out.

112/90 as a blood pressure is not bad.  Everyone has a specific blood pressure relative to their lifestyle, and good be high or low depending on lots of factors.  Your blood pressure is typically considered within normal limits.  Your systolic pressure (top #) is a little low relative to your diastolic pressure (bottom #), but if you are worried about your blood pressure you can buy a relatively cheap blood pressure machine and check it once a day.  If you find abnormal rates (normal is 120/80) you should take your findings to a doctor and see what treatments you could get to alleviate the abnormalities...either high or low.

Here are the classifications for blood pressure readings per the JNC 7 guidelines (The Seventh Report on the Joint National Commitee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure):\n\nNormal <120 over <80\nPrehypertension 120-139 over 80-89\nStage 1 hypertension 140-159 over 90-99\nStage 2 hypertension >160 over >100\n\nMake shure you let your doctor know what your blood pressure readings are at home.  This will help him/her adjust your therapy if needed.

My mom has high blood pressure all the time even on meds.  I monitor her blood pressure for her.  It is always higher when she's sick.  I know if the top number is 180 you are suppose to go to the emergency room.  The thing with your ear I'm not so sure about.  You should call your doctor just to be safe.
