Q: 22 with High Blood Pressure

My blood pressure has also been normal around 125/70 with a real UNHEALTHY DIET.. from the age 16 til about now i ate burgers,fries and anything i wanted.

Last sunday i was at the store and checked my BP on one of the machines they have and it was 157/91.. that freaked me out..considering I was dizzy all that day.

I saw 3 different doctors..each wit 3 different answers..

1 gave me medicine which i hated..the other said i was perfectly fine and the last one said it was vertigo causing my body to be unbalanced and that is making my heart pump harder to try and keep up

i do have an inflamed eardrum and seasonal allergies

I bought one of the electric BP monitors for home use and found that when my blood pressure is HIGH 160/100..if i wait a few minutes..take some deep breaths i can get it a lil lower..around 137/85

this is really affecting me..its scaring the hell out of me and making me regret all those burgers and sodium through out the years

I am now eating salads and fruit and also drinking 8oz of Pomegranite juice a day.. and taking a 10mg anti-histamine for my ear

my question is...Can blood pressure go so high and so low in a matter of minutes??

am i working myself up and its just stress and the inner ear thing?

did 6 years of a REAL POOR POOR Diet finally catch up to me?

this is actually causing me a mild depression..lol

blood pressure readings.
don't every trust store b.p. machines. they are not accurate . get to an R.N. or walk in clinic and have it taken.
