What's Your Blood Pressure Today?
This lens was created to help you control your blood pressure by monitoring and posting your results on this lens. Do you have a doctor's appointment coming up soon? He/She might ask you what your blood pressure has been lately and if you have a record of it here you will be able to write it down before your appointment. Your doctor then may be able to help you control your blood pressure better. Yes, I know everyone will see it! But, if you want to help control your blood pressure instead of it controlling you then isn't it better to have a caring group of people to support you? One in three Americans have high blood pressure! A staggering amount! Let's try to get control of your blood pressure and mine together!

Why I Created This Lens
Well as if the statistics of one in three Americans having high blood pressure wasn't enough! The main reason I created this lens is because my boyfriend Chip has had high blood pressure ever since I've known him. Recently we had a very bad scare where his blood pressure shot up sky high, along with his blood sugar being extremely high, and low potassium. This put him in the hospital for 10 days! When he came out we changed some things in our lives. One of them being to check his blood pressure every single morning and night. This lens is one way that we will make sure he keeps control of his blood pressure and we will be accountable for reporting it to our new Squidoo family. I hope that you will participate with us for a healthier world!

What Is A Good Blood Pressure Reading?
What blood pressure readings mean:
Less than 120 over 80 (120/80): Your blood pressure reading is ideal and healthy. Follow a healthy lifestyle to keep it at this level.
Between 120 over 80 and 140 over 90 (120/80-140/90): You have a normal blood pressure reading but it is a little higher than it should be, and you should try to lower it. Make healthy changes to your lifestyle.
140 over 90 (140/90) or higher (over a number of weeks): You may have high blood pressure (hypertension). Change your lifestyle - see your doctor or nurse and take any medicines they may give you.

- This is a great lens. It's bright and cheerful and makes me want to stay and investigate every item. Well done. My blood pressure is normal, although it has a very high systolic range -- varying from about 110 to 145. I get nervous when I see it at the higher end. Five stars for your lens, by the way.

What Did I Do?
Think about what could have made your blood pressure so high or so low? Did you eat something you probably should not have eaten? Did you not exercise enough or too much? Did you not take enough blood pressure medicine or did you take too much blood pressure medicine?
Why Is My Blood Pressure This Way?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byWhat might I have done to make it this high?
Nochipra says:
His # jumped pretty high tonight for some reason? Guess he should have taken more meds than he probably did?
Posted April 28, 2009
Nochipra says:
Chip's # is not too bad for him today but he will still be taking the meds.
Posted April 27, 2009
Nochipra says:
The # is still a little high for him but not too bad. The meds must have worked kinda last night?
Posted April 26, 2009
Nochipra says:
The # is high but not too bad for him. The bottom # is kinda high?
Posted April 25, 2009
Nochipra says:
His # was pretty high tonight but we had a huge dinner out on the grill and he ate a big lunch too. Probably had a good amount of salt content? I guess we'll know if his neuropathy swells up his legs badly tomorrow?
Posted April 25, 2009
Nochipra says:
His number is still a little high for him so he's still taking something but I think he took about the right meds last night?
Posted April 24, 2009
Nochipra says:
His number was about the same as this morning. Guess the meds will need to be changed?
Posted April 22, 2009
Nochipra says:
His number was pretty high today so he'll be taking the meds. Probably needs to drink more water today since it's warmer?
Posted April 22, 2009
Nochipra says:
Tonight Chip's number was kind of high. He had quite a bit of meat for lunch and dinner though. Could have done it?
Posted April 21, 2009
Nochipra says:
His number was kinda high today. I don't think the meds did the complete job last night?
Posted April 21, 2009
Nochipra says:
Doesn't look like the meds he took last night did that good? It's still kinda high? Probably will have to get them changed eventually
Posted April 20, 2009
Nochipra says:
It's a little later today so the meds from last night probably wore off?
Posted April 18, 2009
What might I have done to make it this low?
Nochipra says:
He took the right amount of blood pressure meds for his number this morning:)
Posted April 18, 2009
Nochipra says:
Chip must have taken the right amount of blood pressure meds last night because his number was pretty good today.
Posted April 15, 2009
Nochipra says:
Chip's number went down a little from this morning on the top number but his bottom number was the same. He must have taken the right amount of insulin this morning.
Posted April 14, 2009
says:
My blood pressure is normally around this value but sometimes drops a lot lower and I sometimes faint. I've had this since my early teenage years which is why I actually need more salt then the average person, especially during the summer since I'll easily drink 3-4 liters of water.
Posted April 13, 2009
Nochipra says:
For Chip this blood pressure reading of 155/77 is not too bad for him. I think he took the right amount of medication last night before he went to bed.

- If I sit down and breath slowly and deeply for 5 minutes I am able to bring my BP down a few points. And when I lost about 10 lbs it had a big effect on lowering my BP.

- We have tried having him taking the meds every day before and several times his blood pressure has shot down. When he is in what is considered a "normal" range he usually feel pretty bad and sluggish. When it is in the slightly higher range is what he considers normal for him? When it is in the slightly higher range and he does take the meds then about an hr or so later he about falls asleep or almost feels like passing out. He has several dr. appts. coming up & probably needs new meds, he's been on these 3 a long time (minoxidil, lisinipril, & metoprolol) When he takes the metoprolol (which has to do with the heart rate it, it really knock him for a loop unless it was really high & he needed it.) His numbers still fluctuate, so we are just judging by how he feels & the numbers? It may not be right but we will have to see what the drs. say?

- Blood pressure is a big problem for me too. I take two meds for my blood pressure... and still I get high readings. Recently I started taking herbs... and I'm determined to find a way to get off these medications. All the best to Chip... I don't understand why he takes his meds only on days the blood pressure reading is especially high. Anyhow... your lens is now blessed by an angel. 5*

- I've never had problems with my blood pressure. They always tell me how 'perfect' it is. I had to go to the ER in November after a possible black widow bite and my blood pressure was sky high. Very scary. They were able to bring it back down but I am much more aware of it now. Nice lens!
