Blood Pressure

my blood pressure is 114 over 60. That means nothing to me.
What is the highest blood pressure a person can have and live? 300 over 250?

I don't know. I never thought of it. Maybe a day?

 

Many peoples pressures rise and fall during a day. If you check it on the hour daily and find that it continues to be 130 over 80 or higher then see a doctor for that is elevated blood pressure which has been determined to be a bad sign in your general health condition.

 

so 130 over 80 is the highest bp can be a person still live?

 

I'm just saying if it that high or higher every hour on a day to day reading then you should see a doctor. That doesn't mean you'll die only that you have a problem, perhaps with your arteries or heart.

If a person had incredibly high BP, would he have a heart attack first or a stroke?

 

Your Blood pressure is unusual.
Did a doctor tell you that, or did you measure it yourself?
