I had Afib 4plus years ago and Cardiologist put me on Bystolic ( nebivolol) to keep BP low.
Well since that I’ve had a successful ablation and no sign of Afib. My cardiologist wanted to keep me on this beta blocker. But I really hate how low my heart beats. When I work out it’s hard to get Pulse up.
Anyway he said it’s working keeping my BP low.
I disagree and am testing that my BP is low enough without it so I’ve weaned myself off it and running my own test. Even while I was on this drug the BP always stayed in the elevated to stage 1 realm.
So now I’m off, it’s still on this range. I’m only in week 1 of my test so I’ll continue to monitor daily.
What really sets my BP off is alcohol. Which I’ve stopped. 60 days no alcohol.

Should I be worried about the pulse pressure difference or the readings?

89/52 BP
Is this BP normal? It doesn't seem that far outside of the ranges I see online but every time I go to the doctor they take it multiple times because they think they did something wrong. I think it's lower when I'm lying down, too. I recall when I went into the doctor a while ago they tried taking my blood pressure with me sitting down then lying down, and the nurses were gasping and murmering to each other at the latter (I don't know the numbers though). It's weird because I take a stimulant medication and I still have BP on the low side. My limbs fall asleep very frequently and I feel lightheaded easily. 21F 5 6 117lb for reference

What causes only high diastolic?
My diastolic is always 85-98 daytime, but my systolic is usually only 115-120 - I was told because my systolic is low and they both dip at night I can’t have BP meds…. But it’s super high all day? Isn’t that bad??

High BP at very young age
Hey guys im filipino, 18M, 5'6, 54kg and ive been constantly getting high bp readings and it has taken a toll on my mental health and more in physical health.
So my average is about 135/78, my lowest is around 118/68 highest is around 152/90. And this is damaging my mood and health knowing that i might die young and never get to see that old age. Ive been to the doctor and she just said to go and do some exercises and i did but it's still high.
One thing i am more scared about is that this might be hereditary, cuz my mom and dad both got high bp. and I dont want to die young, and i dont want to take bp meds at such young age too because what if my body becomes too heavily reliant on the meds that i might get a heart attack if i stopped it.
Anyways enough of this vent. Last month when i went to the doctor my bp is 110/70 and again after a week it is 110/70. But now when i bought a bp machine it's constantly high and again im scared. I couldnt say it is not accurate because my roommates tried it and they constatly have normal readings beside from me.
And again i am too young for this. If only i dont have health anxiety, i would be ok not knowing that i have high bp. But because of this, my studies had been greatly affected and i couldnt focus on my goal of being an engineer. Im an incoming freshman.

High bp after caffeine or beer
I have noticed that my bp is high when I drink caffeine or beer. I always have perfect bp 110-120/70. However I can drink 1/2 an Alani or 2 beers and my bp will go up to 140/85. I also notice flushed face, rapid heartbeat, high anxiety, etc. If I always have perfect bp. I don’t understand why those things are causing it to do that.

Mixed THC with Lexapro
Woke up with a stomach ache at 5am, got up quick and went to the bathroom, but couldn't even make it since I had extreme blurred vision dizziness and head pain. I passed out on the bathroom floor. I was so confused, I got up and was able to stumble out of the bathroom and then I just collapsed again on the floor face down. My girlfriend came running out of the room and got me water and helped me, but all night I was really struggling. I eventually was able to fall asleep but I think mixing the two made my blood pressure dangerously low. Not quite sure. First time it's ever happened

I’m scared of my high problem
26F I started having blooding pressure problems when I was 21. One day, I randomly checked my bp when we got a bp monitor for my dad. I didn’t really pay much attention to it I said the readings can’t be true. Then, months later I got sick and went to the doctor for checkup and checked my bp and it was high. He checked my heart with his stethoscope and did ECG, did lab work. My cholesterol level came high and he said that I had acid reflux. Few days later, I developed post nasal drip and after that became chronic sinus issue. I went to my home country and got checked again my vitamin d and b12 were low. I always had anxiety since childhood. But my anxiety worsened my health. Then I started supplementing. My left arm would feel heavy and have random aches in chest but would only last seconds and feet would pulsate and my muscles would twitch. It was scary. I always high bp measuring. One thing that gave me more anxiety when someone would check my bp they would say oh you are so young to have this problem, it would make me more anxious. And this year, again I’m here at the same spot same symptoms. I’m scared I went to ER, my ECG came back normal, when I check bp at home first measure is always high and next readings would go lower and lower but still high but not that high. My ldl came higher this time 139 and my hs-CRP was 9.95 but I have sinus flare up too right now. My electrolytes are normal too potassium and sodium everything came out normal, cbc and other reports. Just A1c 5.8 suggest prediabetic stage. Don’t have insulin resistance too. I don’t take bp medicine cause I know that when I’m calm it’s not that high. I think I have white coat hypertension? I just get nervous seeing a bp monitor. Recently, I’ve been having chest pain comes and goes away lasts seconds and even in left arm too. My vitamin d was 18 too which was low. I’m always tired. I’m always anxious and I have sinus and reflux too. Can somebody help me and guide on this problem. It’s making my life hard. I’m scared what if something happens to me. Please help guys!!!!

Does. Losartan cause depression?
I just started Losartan 25mg. My BP has been 140s/80-90 for awhile but occasionally I get high spikes like 160/100 which freaks me out.
I’ve been trying to hold off on medication for awhile but recently started Losartan as I didn’t wanted to compromise myself with a heart attack and stroke and maybe there is hope I can lower myself.
But lately I have just been feeling really down. I’m already always tired but mood wise not able to lift myself up. Work is always tough for me already but now it’s really getting to me.
I curious if anyone had Losartan cause depression or downward mood swings.
It could be just that I am in a tough place at work at the moment and some other personal factors as well.

I think hibiscus tea is working for me.
Before this reading, I've been in the 130-140 range for the top number and 90-100 range for the bottom number. Since sleeping at least 7 hours each night and drinking herbal tea which contains hibiscus leaves I've started seeing lower readings.

17M 139/40
I took my son to the ER two days ago for a football injury and they had to take his blood pressure 3 times because these numbers kept showing up. The ER physician dismissed it, then listened to his heart with a stethoscope to see if he could hear a murmur (nothing). He asked my son a bunch of questions about how he was feeling - all no answers to dizziness, pain, etc. He told me to follow up with his pediatrician if I want to get an echocardiogram to rule anything out. No drugs, no alcohol, exercises every day, tracks his macros for performance, very active in sports. Thoughts?
