Suggest Treatment For Low Blood Pressure
I just had my bp taken and it was 150 over 90. I am a 42 year old male who is dieting at the moment and dropped 15 lbs over the past month and now weigh approx. 210 lbs. (I am 5 ft. 7 in. tall). I am nervous with that reading. I had to go down two flights of stairs to get to the test, could that have had an affect on the reading??

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your blood pressure can fluctuate depending on your physical activity, emotional state and physiological changes.
If you are on diet and reducing Weight that will help you to maintain a healthy BP which is less than 140/90. Next time you check your blood pressure make sure you are sitting peacefully for around 15 min.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
