Blood Pressure

So I got a medical evaluation coming and I’m concerned about my blood pressure. It’s for a job.

I never had any doctors say that I have high blood pressure, but I’m just paranoid they might say something and it’s going to make things harder for me.

The medical form says to only retest if the readings are 140/90 or higher.

I don’t know how accurate those blood pressure monitors at the stores are, but I took a couple of tests after work and they were 139/77 then 127/75 within minutes of each other.

I also took one a while ago and it says 135/79.

My arms barely fit in those cuffs, 17.5" arms and a lot of readings were errors.

The national charts say 120/80 and under is normal and anything 120-140 is high systolic. I dropped the gear for about a week and drinking more water and eating more potassium.

I do drink a Bang everyday, but haven’t done so for the past few days.

Should I be worried? What can I do the day of the exam to make sure my readings are good with the doctor? Take an aspirin? Do they even take size and age into consideration cause I’m 5’11" 230lbs and about 11-12% bodyfat.

I’m just freaking out right now and don’t want to show up nervous as shit and actually raise my readings.

try and get some Telmisartan or hctz, it might help in the meantime if your schedule’s not too tight. I used AICPT’s before (from their Fusian Pharma site), idk if any domestic soiurces carry it though.

BP can change significantly if you take it as soon as you sit down and again after sitting for a few minutes. Doctors’ offices usually do it wrong. They march you back and start strapping the cuff on you while you are trying to get seated. This gives a significantly higher reading than taking it after you have sat down and relaxed for a few minutes. Try it sometime if you have a home BP monitor. Take it as soon as you sit down, again 2 minutes later, then again 2 more minutes later. You’ll probably see the lowest reading on the last measurement.

Cuff size makes a huge difference, every single time I go to the docs it says I have high blood pressure and then they switch to a bigger cuff and its completely fine. Avoid the stimulents and don’t workout beforehand and you should be good.

Look into clonidine. It is a good blood pressure med that you can get from doctor easily off label for sleep, or im sure some sources carry it. I would also invest in a home one and see how that comes out, because reading can easily be skewed
