Title: 161/100 Blood Pressure - HELP! Hey Everyone, I am somewhat new to this so I am hoping someone out there can help. Recently, when I was at the doctors they took my Blood Pressure and it was 161/100 - stage 2 of hypertension. Now I am 25 years old, but I am 70lbs over weight (240 lbs at 6'2"). Can someone out there help me understand what this all means and how I can change my meal plan in order to eleviate this bloodpressure problem. Also, an Net articles I could read would be greatly appreciated. Jeff Name: Jeff Date: Oct. 29th, 2001 Title: Re: 161/100 Blood Pressure - HELP! What are you eating? Date: Oct. 30th, 2001 Title: Re: 161/100 Blood Pressure - HELP! Dear Jeff: I am a registered nutritional consulting practitioner. I am also a certified personal trainer. For a short period in my life I gained lots of weight when my late husband had cancer over a 6 year period. I developed higher blood pressure than yours (185-197/110) and I was in my late forties. I weighed over 300 lbs. Now, 3 1/2 yrs later, and nearly 200 lbs lighter, I have enjoyed excellent health and normal blood pressure (actually an athlete's BP) for over 2 years. I suggest you listen to your doctor;s advice...concerning medications etc but do begin to take your health seriously and do it NOW!!! Only you can alter your healh status. I now work with clients to help them change their lifesyles and health status, whatever the issues, not just weight problems. I also work with athletes and people your age. I am 51 yrs old and have never felt better. Good luck, Yetta ? Name: yetta Date: Nov. 12th, 2001 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | |
