[QUOTE="witzend, post: 616192, member: 99"] My doctor told me that the blood pressure things at stores always read a little high as a protection to the store. 160/90 is probably not accurate. It probably doesn't help to be taken while out goofing off with a friend, either. He should sit quietly by himself at the machine for a few minutes then take it, then sit quietly for a few more minutes and take it again. Anxiety and activity will naturally raise your blood pressure. He should probably ask a doctor or nurse to take it. Most offices will do a BiPolar (BP) check free of charge if there is a concern and if you are already a patient. I wouldn't sweat this one, though. My mother has a history of hypertension and renal artery stenosis. All of us kids have high BiPolar (BP), but I did my best to avoid it. I've been on medication since I was in my late thirties. I also watch my salt intake and try to maintain a healthy diet. I'm not able to do aerobic exercise, so I can't count on that. [/QUOTE]
