I remember the aha guidelines was very difficult tp achieve. When he told me 136,  i thought he going to prescribe me with HBP meds.

The doc was using those omron auto hbp monitor.

135 for blood pressure is ok the older you are. Not consider high blood pressure de.  Sometimes when i see my blood pressure 12+ to 13+, doctor says ok, no need scare. But ah my blood pressure always on the lower side but not low blood pressure la when i used the omron auto monitor to measure. 😅

no wonder when I was measured 130/can't remember bottom number using electronic during health check up, doctor told me ok for my age.

There's a range of 90+ to 130mmhg which i think is spectrum of normal. Anything above 130 is considered pre-hypertensive. But we don't really follow that unless you have had stroke/heart attack/diabetes.

The lower your BP the better. For example when i was at the peak of my IF + diet control, my BP was actually 105-110mmhg only.
Now with the relatively lax diet control and increase of about 4kg from that peak of 3 years ago, my BP is more like around low 115- low 120s.

For you guys in late 40s, early 50s, it's harder cos your arteries are older and less flexible.

I used to be 120/70-80 for the longest time until maybe 3 years ago when it went up to 130.

If only the arteries can be replaced like a car's pipes. 🤣

Got people in 40s and early 50s, their BP is 100+ to 120+?

I think I am alright with home measurements. They are 12x/7x range. Ocassinally shoot to 13x/8x.. But at the polyclinc for my first visit for the heart palpitation, etc, the pressure measure there was 16X... scary...

Usually when you take your blood pressure at clinic, reading will be much more higher than you take at home de. Also dont know why?

There was one period my reading always 140+ when i took at the clinic. At home around 130+.

The type of meter you use at home also matter.

My regular GP recommended me to get the Omron made in japan one.

Mine is the Omron  JPN500. I also have the Rossmax AC701. Both agar agar the same results.

But all these machine need to calibrate one., Rossmax use to have free calibration for a few years, that's why I got it.

"Sit quietly for five minutes before the test begins." quoted it from https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/tips-to-measure-your-blood-pressure-correctly

In the clinic, you walk to the room, heart rate goes up. +15 from your RHR

Go into the room, see the chio doctor. Heart rate goes up a little more. Now it is already +30 from your RHR

Doc measures your BP all within 1 min of you walking from waiting room to consultation room. Where got 5 min, right? 

Surely BP will be higher than normally measured at home.

hmm no need lah. Most arm cuff machines are ok.

I check my patient's machines sometimes, all agar agar ok one. I got some normal omron for my parents and in laws. $50+ online. Got it like 4 years ago or something.
