I am a 78 year old female. My blood pressure reads 180/50 and I get headaches [maily around the top most of my head], would my blood pressure be causing the headaches?

Rebecca69 Hi, I have lupus and have never had heart problems before. I have had a dry cough for 2 days and started having chest and arm pain. I went to ER and was told I had a 8 hour wait. Decided to go home. At home I checked my blood pressure and it was 145 over 120. In the morning it was 139 over 119. I usually sit around 105 over 59! I am now 134 over 92. Should I be worried?

I'm 13. Today, I went to the nurse because I wasn't feeling well, and she took my blood pressure. It read 142/83. Is that considered hypertension?

It is certainly high and should be lower than that. Anything upto 140/?? is prehypertension. Go and see your doctor and see what might be the problem.

I am 62 and my blood pressure when taken at home is 128/94 in the am. This is ok for Systolic but high for Diastolic. Where do I fall - normal or prehypertension or hypertension?

Healthy lifestyle > drugs. A good diet, daily exercise, etc. can make wonders. Also, keep track of your blood pressure. http://bp-chart.com (blood pressure chart) is good for that.
