mental stress blood pressure

i'm from india and i'm 22 weeks pregnant now... my problem is that i'm under stress. my husband is not taking care of me. even if ifeel to have something it will not be available at home. i'm a teacher and that pressure also worries me. i heared that my mental condition and my stress will affect my baby. will it? i want a really healthy baby. for that what should i do. please help me.

I understand that a higher blood pressure (say, 135/80 and up) does more damage to blood vessels than the lower readings. My husband and I both, after sitting quietly, and taking it a few times! can get readings at home of about 120/75 or even lower. The first reading after sitting down might be 135/80. But we both are very active (both 54) and run around all day at work, and when we check it then, it can be as high as 140/85 or so, sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

Its hard to not stress out but im a high risk pregnancy because I have high blood pressure and diabetes and now they put me on insulin and blood pressure medication

i am 26 year old and have a high blood pressure since a week and from past 4 days somtimes in a day i also feel pain in my head on the left hand side. the high bp problem started, when i joined gym, i took tenolol 25mg to control my bp and i was fine afterwards. But now again the high bp problem has started after a month and when i did a little work today i am feeling in my brain like,i shall sleep now and feeling uncomfortable.

My daughter's (age 11) has blood pressure of 110/54. She as lively as ever. If the blood pressure drops to in the 40's then it may be getting low. The 145 is actually high. My husband has high blood pressure, so we all take our blood pressure a lot.

If you can, buy a home blood pressure monitor and keep track of it at home. It could have been a spike due to stress. If it stays a little higher, they may give you a med to help keep it down until baby comes.

i was wondering if anyone can tell me if my blood pressure readings are to high. i am not over weight . and it just seems to be high this week, not sure why. dont have heart problems.

Have you been anxious over anything lately, or in pain? My blood pressure was about 167/114 without my meds. After an injury to my upper arm my blood pressure went way up due to the pain. Let me know what it reads today.

High blood pressure can cause problems during pregnancy. For instance, when a woman has high blood pressure in pregnancy, it may cause less blood to flow to the placenta. This means that the fetus receives less of the oxygen and nutrients it needs. This can cause the growth of the fetus to slow down. But I wouldn’t freak out yet. Let us know what your numbers are when you get yourself checked again.

Has anyone had high blood pressure? I'm worried I may have it, but don't see my doctor for a couple of weeks. I am almost 10 weeks. Never had an issue in my first pregnancy, but I have been more sedentary so far.

I would be walking and stop dead and wonder if i could make it to were i was going.I went to a doctor who said i was burnt out?? My blood pressure was 192/104 and 108 bpm.He put me on 50mg of Atenolol a day which had to be stepped up to 100mg and has resolved the heart rate and pressure. But i still get palpatations,anxiety,tight chest .I also feel that i cant see things properly.i see spots of light , floaters and my vision seems grainy.

Apparently many patients with high blood pressure at home due to lots of stress seem to calm down a lot in the waiting room for a Doctor, or when admitted into hospital. This reflects a normal blood pressure while at home their blood pressure is much higher. The opposite also takes effect where some people feel anxiety visiting a Doctor or being in hospital. The minute they leave and go home, their blood pressure relaxes and yet they are now on meds to lower it even further.

Does anyone know what your blood pressure has to be at in order to be put on bed rest I didn't have signs of pre-eclampsia but stress at work is causing a spike in my blood pressure now at 36 weeks and I go to the dr on Thursday but I was wondering how high it has to be to be put on bed rest?

I had high blood pressure & they did a non stress test and just monitored me a lot. Mine turned into pre eclampsia, but I didn't have symptoms until around 36 weeks or so, so I'm not sure what they'll do with you being so early... Hope it goes well!

Besides that, mental states can easily effect heart rate and blood pressure, if stress levels / anxiety is high, its reflected in the heart rate and blood pressure. That's our natural stress response that causes that.

m on no beta blockers or blood pressure meds at the moment. They decided to look at my blood pressure because of the recent loss of my wife. I saw my Cardiologist last week and my BP then was 155/101 and he said he wasn't concerned and it was likely the recent stress causing it. He said he would leave it a few months. I still haven't heard anything from my Doctor about the results. I used to take Ramipril ace inhibitors back from 2007-2009.

My husband has always been affected by pork, his face gets all red after he eats it and I am noticing this happening to our son who is only 8. What causes high blood pressure are there certain foods that I should make sure they avoid?

So I had a recent doctors visit back in May and my blood pressure was 120/80. Not too shabby. At this point I didnt even know what blood pressure was but I knew mine was good. However now that I knew what BP was I, being anxious about my health, wanted to learn more. So a month later I (and lots of anxious research later) I found a supermarket BP machine and got a reading of 137/80. Noticibly higher.

I'm a 38 year old female and have always had blood pressure of 117/74 or lower. The odd time it would be 120/80 but this was rare. For the last 4 days i've checked my pressure and it has been on average 129/76 (i check it very regularly at the drug store). I've very concerned that it is this high so quickly. I've always battled my weight and am currently on the Weight Watchers program. I don't smoke, don't drink and really don't have alot of stress in my life.

Pregnancy can simply give you higher than normal blood pressure. Hormones, more blood being produced, plus your mental state if you are stressed or anything. Your Dr should discuss with you when it's too high and needs intervention and what your options are. There are many and typically it's not anything to be scared about, especially caught early. But do keep working with your Dr on it so it doesn't become dangerous for you and baby. Keep us updated!

The second number in the blood pressure reading is always worse to be high. The first number is the pressure when the heart beats and forces blood out of the ventricles. The second number is the reading when your heart is resting in between beats. It is always worse to have the pressure higher on your heart when it is relaxing for a half of a second. Anyways, I would not worry to much about it! Keep monitor it for awhile, and get you one of those digital home blood pressure monitors.

I have had blood pressure spikes. It's usually due to stress/ excitement. My dr says that (if my placenta moves out of the way) I can do a vaginal delivery. I'll just be monitored close. So, yes a vaginal delivery is still totally possible.
