Hi guys,
I had a free health screen in work today. During this I had BP taken. First other results:
- BMI of ~26, so slightly over
- Blood sugar of 4.2, so normal
My Blood Pressure however was 151/78, I had also happened to do one on a pharmacy machines yesterday and it was 136/81. These are considered high numbers right? The health screen lady told me it was a bit high but not anything she would be concerned about, just something to be aware of. What are your thoughts on this because anything heart related freaks me the hell out :/. And I already experience long term muscle pains in my shoulder and left arm which always has me jumping to conclusions (HA sufferer). The doctor apparently sends out an email in like 2 weeks with further evaluation, but would you think I should be concerned? I'm only 21 as well if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
brainiac.
