Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a big steak and a beer before testing my blood pressure at a store machine. It read 157 over 104. Scared me to be sure so I started a daily exercise routine while eating a lot organic food especially fruits and vegetables. After 2 weeks same machine it read 136 over 96. Is this promising, too fast, not enough?
Hi. the blood pressure is instantaneous measurement. so it not only changes between 2 measurements but also between 2 arms and also between readings. now about you readings, both are above the normal requirement . so I suggest you to consult a physcian and act accordingly
