Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 It has to be 145/84 and not upside down. The systolic is the pressure exerted against blood vessels when the heart is beating. The diastolic measures the pressure when the heart is at rest which is why it is of somewhat more importance. I urge people to understand and educate themselves so they can make good decisions. BP; for example, is so basic. HTH Denise hi, are you sure it was 84/145, or was it 145/84. if it was the first, 84/145, they should have hospitalized you. that means your heart is not heard resting until 145, and it is beating at 84, i believe. that is a very dangerous read, have it checked again. sometimes hawthorn is helpful. i have used: garlic and cayene; red clover and dandelion and garlic. did you read their catalogue? i have found it to be very helpful. how are you sleeping, lack of rest/sleep can also elevate your blood pressure. even being vegan, maybe you should watch how your food is being prepared, how you are combining you foods, and your lifestyle. there are some organic truths about aging, one is the loss of elasticity in the veins and arteries. have you tried meditation, deep breathing, tai chi, prayer? i hope i have helped in some way. -- Version: 7.1.407 / Virus Database: 268.12.10/459 - Release 9/29/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
