Blood pressure varies. What the heck is wrong with me ?

[Anonymous]

To start I am an 18 year old girl, I have been checking my blood pressure on a daily basis because I have been feeling like crap for like 2 weeks now, one day my blood pressure will be like 104/57 then the next day it will be like 135/65 I have always had headaches often since I was little as well as dizziness and a very big problems with sleep , and I have a hard time staying focused I hardly can sit still. Any ideas what is wrong or is this OK ?

Try measuring your blood pressure after you've stood still for a few minutes. You should also consider that whatever you're using is just inaccurate.

Even if it isn't wrong, those measurements aren't so bad. Your blood pressure isn't too high nor is it too low. Regardless, variation in your blood pressure could indicate something's wrong with your heart, kidney or blood vessels among other things. Which is why you should definitely go see your doctor!

That is both low. The main number to look at is the diastolic (bottom). If its lower than 60 then its low. That will make you feel dizzy, head achey... pretty much everything you said. So that's why you feel ill.

Do you drink enough? I know I don't and my blood pressure is always low. Some people get high blood pressure from dehydration but I dont. Could be that?

Try drinking a cup of coffee every morning. Simple but works :)

How is your diet? Do you consume foods that are high in sodium?

If not, then you might have a more complex issue and you need to see a doctor.

You definitely need to see a doctor. High Blood pressure is a serious issue if you don't take medications to control it.

Woah, you really need to see a doctor. I can't believe you didn't go to one before.
