Bpdoc's Blood Pressure Experiences

I had pre-eclampsia with all 5 of my pregnancies, each developing subsequently developing sooner into the pregnancy. Often I was hospitalized on bed rest and very closely monitored. Whenever that top number rose above 200 or the bottom number above 100 alarms went off from the bp machine to the nurses station and along came nurses and sometimes drs running !

I understand they need to keep a closer watch on the maternity ward but even double that for a normal reading would most likely lead to stroke or heart/ organ damage.

Now triple that and even more according to some of these posters and your eyes would literally rupture!

I am not even close to being any kind of medical authority but any common sense would tell you this is the king of bull shit stories !

Absolutely ridiculous!

I had a 30 year old female arrive at the hypertension center. She presented with severe headaches and vision problems. Her pressure was over 300mm systolic. Her diastolic was 276. Using a arterial line her pressure was 355/299 at it's highest. When the line was removed her blood shot all the way across the room. She was given intravenous medication and 5 oral antihypertensives. After 2 hours her pressure was down to 166/90. She was a very attractive blonde 5'6" 120lbs. 34D cups. Upon arrival her arm veins were distended severely. Her follow up exam her pressure was still elevated at 144/100. During a treadmill stress test her systolic pressure again became extremely elevated at 266. After 30 minutes of lying down her pressure was still elevated at 210/120.

I hope you referred her to a cardiologist, that is dangerous BP. She will have a stroke if she doesn't get it down!

@Wolf2007 Get a load of the responses I garnered from one ridiculous post. Are we both missing something? The whole site quickly calls bullshit on me. Honestly, the numbers I quoted are not a bit more ridiculous than some of the others that get thrown around. Nor the circumstances. Or my wife. The retired pop star.

Relax guys. I'm well versed in millimeters of mercury. Just goofing.

So why did you post those ridiculous numbers? Did you expect someone to believe you?

We generally frown on trolling.

Thank goodness!! We all thought you were an idiot! 😄

Its amazing how @Bpdocs “patients & daughter” match his fetishes listed on his profile! Not that his posts also wave a BULLSHIT FLAG with flashing neon lights and siren!

“We generally frown upon trolling” @docinny45 you are too kind!

I will refrain....

Yesterday l examined a 32-year-old female recently diagnosised with hypertension. Upon taking her pressures, l was startled by not only her hypertension but also by her extremely narrow pulse pressure. One Bp reading was 206/198! The widest pulse pressure was 20mmhg with a bp of 180/160. She was fitted with a 24hr Ambulatory bp monitor. Currently unmedicated. Systolic heart murmur. Her pressures were highest lying still in her right arm. 5'6" 140lb attractive brunette with 34D's. I just acquired a prototype Baum 300mm Palm aneroid gauge. I had my wife take her own pressure with it. She tucked the stethoscope under the cuff and inflated it up to 240mmhg. I could see the needle bouncing at around 210. At around 140 she fully deflated the cuff. Her pressure was 212/156. I then took my niece Victoria's pressure using the Baum. Her pressures were 124/80 in her left arm and 130/92 right arm. She is only 18 but is already beginning to develop hypertension. Anyone experience narrow pulse pressures?

I'm dying here......Guys....People...Prior to my ridiculous post......You've not seen any ridiculous posts prior to mine???? I'm the furthest thing from a troll. There might be one here. Not me, but someone else, maybe? I'm the only one you've noticed? Haaaaaaaa.

Look around. See if you don't find other posts....Not by me, mind you....Maybe I modeled mine after getting tired of the other ridiculous posts.......Shew...Ya'll have to work with me😃

@bridgette I missed your post. I just breezed past it thinking you were coming down on me as well. Maybe you noticed similarities in both our posts????
