Blood Pressure

[SpringCreek]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys remember what your blood pressure has been when you went to the doctor the past few times. I was in my med tech class at work yesterday and my blood pressure was 138/98. The teacher was very concerned with this. I explained that I was on phen but she still was concerned. So I am curious what everyone elses BP has been. Thanks...

I take Lisinopril for hypertension. It was 118 over 80 something. I won't have my blood pressure checked again until my next appointment as he just ** the Phen.to me Monday. Sorry, maybe others who have been on it longer can help you.

Mine was 116/78

My doctor took my of my BP meds after 3 weeks cause it went too low while taking Phen it was like 109/54 I think.

Everyones different. I had what they call lab coat hi blood pressure. It was only high when at the doctors. But any high blood pressure is bad.

Go get yourself a Bp monitor as a drug store. They're under $20 bucks and keep a close watch and report anything over 120/80 to your doctor.

It's important.

Mine has always been low... around 110/60. Since taking Phen it has not gone up or down so my Dr is not concerned with it.

Mine was 134/74 I had to write it down because I can never remember. I don't know how large your arm is but when they first took mine they used a regular blood pressure arm thing (I don't know what its called) and it was really high. Then she retook it with a larger one and it came out OK. She said the wrong size arm thing can cause it to be high.
