I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure reading. I was recently checked and it came back as 137 over 92. Is this considered bad blood pressure? I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me out. I'm new to this so I'm not sure what's considered normal or not. Does anyone have any advice on what to do next? Any help would be much appreciated.

Subtitle: Is 137 over 92 bad blood pressure?

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a serious medical condition that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. When the blood pressure is over 140/90, it is considered high. A reading of 137/92 would be considered prehypertension, which is a warning sign that your blood pressure is starting to get too high.

Prehypertension is a warning sign that you should take steps to lower your blood pressure. This can include making lifestyle changes such as getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and limiting alcohol consumption.

Hypertension is a medical term used to describe a condition where the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is too high, causing the arteries to become stiff and less elastic. This can lead to a number of health complications, such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.

If your blood pressure is 137/92, you should talk to your doctor about what steps you should take to lower your blood pressure. There are a variety of medications that can be prescribed to help lower blood pressure, as well as lifestyle changes that you can make.

Your doctor may also recommend having your blood pressure checked regularly to make sure that it remains at a healthy level. If your blood pressure is consistently over 140/90, your doctor may recommend taking medications to help lower it.

In conclusion, a reading of 137/92 is considered prehypertension, and should be taken seriously. If you have this level of blood pressure, talk to your doctor about what steps you should take to lower it. With the proper lifestyle changes and medications, prehypertension can be managed and treated.

It depends on what type of blood pressure you are referring to. Generally speaking, a systolic blood pressure of 137 and a diastolic blood pressure of 92 is considered to be in the prehypertensive range. This means that your blood pressure is higher than a normal reading of 120/80 but has not yet reached the level of hypertension, which is 140/90 or higher.

If your blood pressure is consistently in the prehypertensive range, it is important to take steps to help lower it. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can cause serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Lifestyle changes such as exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and reducing stress can help to lower your blood pressure. Your doctor may also recommend medications such as ACE inhibitors or diuretics to help reduce your blood pressure.

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and take steps to lower it if it is in the prehypertensive range. Make sure to talk to your doctor about your blood pressure and any steps you can take to keep it in a healthy range.

No, 137 over 92 is not considered bad blood pressure. It is actually in the normal range. Normal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60 and 120/80. Anything outside of this range is considered either high or low. In this case, 137/92 is within the normal range and therefore is considered to be good blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and speak to your doctor if you are concerned.

Yes, a blood pressure reading of 137 over 92 is considered high. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is typically defined as a reading of 140 over 90 or higher. It is important to note that any reading over 120 over 80 may be a cause for concern and should be discussed with a doctor to determine if further treatment is necessary. High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes, such as reducing salt intake or exercising, or with medication.
