Replies SweeterThanChocolate Posted at 3:06 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 Don't worry, that will just make it worse.  The ideal pressure usually is 100+age/80, so you should be around 116/80.  The top figure is when the heart contracts, and the bottom is when it relaxes. Try relaxing, don't get stressed about things unduly.  Make sure you drink enough fluids, try not to smoke etc. If it is still high in 2 weeks, the dr might put you on some blood pressure reduction medication, if he's concerned   0h h3ll n0 Posted at 3:05 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 I just found this- http://www.envisionnm.org/Files/toolsandresources/overweight/bpbmiboys_revised.pdf not sure if that helps. Idk much about high bp. I know I have low bp. Try not to worry about it too much until you've seen your Dr. I'm sure that wouldn't help. samantha89 Posted at 3:05 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 thats not too bad its a little bit high. mine usually runs 119/70 gwen123 Posted at 3:05 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 i went to the doctors today. they said it was high, and i had to cme back. they want to moniter it.
