Blood presure???

[jonah hart]

Mr hart as high blood pressure .. 147 over 96 ... He went to the docs a few months ago with it he had a follow up appointment that he didn't go to ( unbeknownst to me) but as been checking it regular at home with our moniter ... It goes up an down all the time but even wen it's down it's still quite high .. I'm going to get him back in at docs on Monday bit I'm worried.. Any advice please :-)

Wat does that mean sqad? ( duh me ) ... Does it mean constant hbp ? :-)

jonah....Hypertension is blood pressure (BP).

[jonah hart]

A thought so :-) thanks ... It baffels me because he's so healthy he doesant smoke or drink an plays football 3 times a week ... Maybe he's stressed but he says not ..

stress does not cause high blood pressure
a healty diet can control it some what but I think it must be hereditory
I am 43 by the way and was diagnosed five years ago
but I had high blood pressure even when I was a teenager
