My friend told me that having a blood pressure of 150/90 is considered as being a "man". Is there a problem with that, or am I just too worried about his health. FYI I had a blood pressure of 125/85 before.
You forgot "too much/too litte fapping"DoPo said:Also, depends on body type, I believe. So yeah, go see a doctor. If you ask the Internet you end up with usually one of two answers - it's AIDS or it's Lupus. Or both.
I guess he goes to the doctor every now and then, but the main point is how absurd his statement is (im my standard)DoPo said:Also, depends on body type, I believe. So yeah, go see a doctor.

Doctors know more than these two things, though, or so I'm told, and are better at actually understanding what is going on - as far as I know, they don't even guess randomly as much. Might be worth giving them a shot.
Yeah, to be more specific my friend if 15, slightly below average height, sleeps usually 3-5 hours a day, and he studies 5 hours a day is a stressful person.Strazdas said:Such pressure is while not dangerous outright if sustained can lead to pressure related complications. This naturally occurs at older age too, but regardless whether its age related or not its a illness and your friend is sick. this needs to be meditated because otherwise on average this shortens your life around 10 years (assuming no serious complication). It is emtirely possible that this is caused by stress and your friend needs to relax and live slower (depends on situation, you dont tell us much about your friend), but it is possible this is an illness that cannot be cured by simply understanding the causes.
How do i know this? i have this illness.

Uh... wut?! How is your blood pressure an indicator of 'manliness'... does he go around with a sphygmomanometer and then shout: nope your systolic's under 140, your man card please! ... ¬_¬omgeveryone9 said:My friend told me that having a blood pressure of 150/90 is considered as being a "man".
Oh wow. Does he also think that having a resting heart rate of 100bpm is awesome? (It's not)omgeveryone9 said:My friend told me that having a blood pressure of 150/90 is considered as being a "man".

15 years old with a blood pressure at 150, yeah, that is bad. I'm not sure how bad it is, but I think I recall mine reaching 140 during a 30 minute stress test. It's just going to get higher as he ages so there's a reason to start considering his future.omgeveryone9 said:Yeah, to be more specific my friend if 15, slightly below average height, sleeps usually 3-5 hours a day, and he studies 5 hours a day is a stressful person.
Actually the rising pulse will cause an increased blood pressure in the aorta, but not as high as one would assume since when you work out your blood vessels will dilate and decrease the resistance the blood is meeting in the peripheral arteries which will reduce the diastolic blood pressure which will counter the rise of the systolic blood pressure.SckizoBoy said:Uh... wut?!

Besides, athletes typically have average or low blood pressures so that when they exercise, their blood vessels can handle the sudden spike. Or something...
Yeah, lack of rest and stress certainly can be the cause, so it may were well be possible for him to get back on track. problem is, from this attitude i guess he is isnt going to do that till its too late. sad. I too have friends who hardly sleep, but they do not have such problems (one of them is like a tank, sleeps 5 hours a day and can go on like a rabbit all the time, gota lvoe those 8 hour long skype chats with him.) but im getting offtopic. he needs to be made to change his mind, whichever way works. while the pressure for now isnt dangerous to need swift action, it may rise if the behaviuos continues.omgeveryone9 said:Yeah, to be more specific my friend if 15, slightly below average height, sleeps usually 3-5 hours a day, and he studies 5 hours a day is a stressful person.
