Chest pain after missing a dosage of Propranolol - could it be a heart attack?

In ALL seriousness your BP is only slightly elevated. Even the 140/92 is just "elevated" NOT HIGH. BP readings are contingent on time of day, foods you ate an hour ago, physical and mental stress, reading taken laying down, in a recliner or standing up, etc. Over my medical career, I have taken thousands of BPs.

I am state certified in this area which is much more in-depth than what is taught in the program. NO, you do not need to worry about these readings. Be mildly concerned but not worried.

A reading to be worried about is 175/115. The other 2 answers by knarfewu and Jackie don't know what they are talking about.

Try some deep breathing exercises and meditation. They will help relieve your anxiety and ultimately lower your blood pressure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
