Shoudl it be a concern? (Hypertension)? -

A male in his 40 and Pre-hypertension 140/85?

Yes. He should reduce or eliminate his consumption of red meat, dairy, and egg yolks. Add essential fatty acids such as fish, flax, borage oils. Garlic is good for thinning the blood among other things. Co-enzyme Q10, L-carnitine, hawthorn berries are three nutritional/herbal supplements, among many that can help his heart.

If the doctor diagnosed this man with this, then yes. Possibly needs to lose weight? Might be controlled at this point with diet and exercise. If it goes up, this man would probably need blood pressure medication. You don t give enough details of the man s other health history.

Definetely start off by not eating too much salt and fats. My grandma has it

that is a little high but not to bad but i would suggest having it checked. a normal b/p is about 120/80 your lower number is fine the top number is a little high.

BP 140/85 at 40 is not that alarming. Go for a walk once and a while. Mine has been as high as 183/103...there s a heart attack/stroke waiting to happen!

Hypertension can turn dangerous only if the condition persists. It then tends to atrophy the heart and precipitate inadequacy syndrome. An occasional hyper Tension actually srengthens your heart. and helps you cope up with sudden demands on your reserves.

No, my BP goes up to 160/80 at my doctor s office. He is an internist and is happy with it. This is due to stress.
