I relax hoping that my heart rate is 60 or less BPS. If it is higher, I wait longer before testing my BP again. I measure my BP twice in the mornings and twice in the evenings. Say 8:45am and 8:45pm, but I include my heart rate when documenting them. Then I present it to my GP every fortnight.

Thank you so much doctor, because when I arrive at the doctor's office my blood pressure is always high.....my hand is down, no time to relax and they are talking and expects you to respond all the way through. ❤❤

I go to my doctor and to the emergency room, and everyone tells me to relax your arm in your lap. I saw in a CNN video that my arm must be aligned with my heart. Thanks, doctor, for confirming that the latter part of my statement is correct!!🙏🏾

So very true I do become stressed when I go to the Doctor my Blood Pressure will go down as I start to feel better . Thank you 😍

One of the biggest things with patients in the morning, everyone have coffee right before coming to the doctors office.

Just found your videos and a new subscriber from the fruit episode. I’m overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and pre diabetes. I understand better in fruits, veggies and taking blood pressure. Thank you……

Thank you for the correct way to take BP.

I'm so happy to hear from you for monitoring my blood pressure at home.

Thank you.Perfectly said!

Thank you Dr. Frita. I have heard so many of my friends say their blood pressure is in the crisis state and I have to tell them to call their doctors. To be honest, I don’t think they listen and put it out of mind. Little do they know the damage this is doing to their systems. I have Dysautonomia with low blood pressure, hypertension and tachycardia. I have to take my blood pressure often. Your video is a good checkup on my BP journey. ❤

Thank you for this video. Every doctors office I go to takes no differently. I’ve started taking my pressure at home & take my log to the doctor’s office. They’re out to put me on meds

Subscribed. Thank you for the information. I have been monitoring by blood pressure from home, and I want to work on getting off meds.. downloaded your healthy habits. 🙏🏿

Dr.Frita Thank you so much for inspiring me to check my blood pressure tonight. My Systolic was slightly elevated and the diastolic was 62, will ask my doctor how I can lower my systolic ❤

Thanks Dr Freda my the Lord continue bless u

Great info, thank you

I'm so appreciative of this video. My challenge has always been understanding what is considered "cuff at heart level," especially if I'm well endowed!

Hi Dr Frita, I always enjoy your videos awesome information. My husband has the same blood pressure machine. Thanks and have a Blessed day 😊

Thanks

Why is blood pressure checked as soon as you walk in the door after name called then you sit and the nurse takes pressure..noone waits till you have sat down a few seconds to check? Always puzzles me

I’ve learned to take control of the BP reading. I tell them use the large cuff because I lift weights and I’ve had so many inaccurate readings from small cuffs. I also tell them I want it done the old school way. With me the automatic BP cuffs always read to high. The office personnel even admitted they are aware of that issue. Don’t be shy you are paying them for a service so be bold.

I'm 37 and suffered from high blood pressure after having my baby who's 4 now. My bo read 160/150 and was given a pill in the office. Now they want me to take a fluid pill and the current bo medication amolophine. It makes me tired/sleepy though my body would be immune by now.

Sittind.g on a bed with legs dangling and the monitor held above my head is how a Dr told me was correct way to take blood pressure.

Great information and so perfectly explained. I do still have one question that's always baffled me though. How do you k ow if you have put the cuff on at the correct tightness to start with please? Should you be able to put two fingers in the gap or no fingers ...? I'd love your advice 🙏🏾

What wasn't mentioned was how tight or loose the cuff should be. Another doctor suggested loose enough to get two fingers comfortably under the cuff, but not three fingers. That is the method I now use.

My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with ARPKD in december. Also was diagnosed with High BloodPressure. I brought her in to ER due to vomiting that lasted 7 days and was in MGH for 11 days and In 2024 March 22nd -April 1st she had another vomit episode and was diagnosed with Cyclic Vomit Syndrome. 🤷‍♀️🥺 Most recently Last wed started complain of back pain and i bring her into dr and she has kidney infection but never once or was just afraid to tell me she was having UTI symptoms. Do to CVS we went to OBGYN, becuase every time she vomits she is just entering her menstrual cycle. It has been a journey and I have been up late every night learning as much as I can. I know that this is hard for my daughter, but I think coming across your videos will help me help her understand more. (A part of me just wonders) I’m afraid of CVS due to her kidneys. before december she has been so healthy and active. I will be reaching out soon. i’m nervous I’m hesitant, but all I want all the information I can receive. I feel like a little fish of a big ocean 🥺

Does it matter when you take blood pressure meds Moring/Night?

so bascially, a fitwatch is not good to check blood pressure?

Hello

How tell if the cuff is too tight or too lose.

Will anxiety cause blood pressure??

@intentionalparenting2605

4 ай бұрын

Yes! Anytime I’ve had a anxiety attack I check my pressure and it’s extremely higher than normal.

I was told by a specialist that a normal blood pressure for an older person, over 60 could be between 120- 140systolic and 80-90 diastolic? So I try to keep it betw these ranges.

To b honest u seem to raise my blood pressure..😁

I do take the blood pressure more than once in setting, usually about five minutes apart. But why is it each time the reading is sometimes 10 points different even when I sit calmly?

The noisy waiting rooms and rude techs don’t help the numbers. They always have nerve wracking television sets. And some of us don’t have dining room chairs. Some of us in cities don’t have dining rooms! And some of us can’t look at a cuff without freaking out. Who can sit for five minutes and get relaxed? I think of lots of other things! And no you don’t have hypertension after one reading.

Hi Doctor, why does not my BP level go down even after taking medication?

I’ve noticed on my phone a lot lately the advertisements of loading there BP app on your phone and just point your phone over your wrist and voilà. A BP reading with pulse. Anyone with experience or opinions welcomed.

My Omron BP monitor stopped working after about 5-6 years 🤔 how long should they last?

No left arm always is not correct per my doctors! I had breast cancer in my left breast, had surgery and nodes removed. From now on nothing gets done on the left…no injections, no blood tests, and no blood pressure readings! It all moved to the right side forever.

Shouldn't it be on the right arm?

My doctor does it all wrong and he has me on blood pressure meds been few years now and blood pressure is the same
