Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts | Just had mine checked and it's high 139/103. Since I've been putting weight on I've felt like it's been raising. Does anyone else have much issue with this? Reason I got it tested is I've got a medical coming up for a driving job, would this be a reason to fail? | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | SteBennett said:Just had mine checked and it's high 139/103. Since I've been putting weight on I've felt like it's been raising.

That is definitely high enough to be concerned IMO. | ||

 I recommend the track - Slut Machine Member 6043, 955 posts SQ 350, BP 195, DL 350895.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | It's not horrendous, but could definitely be a lot better. Systolic is the pressure experienced when the heart contracts/is pumping blood. Diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed. They used to say Diastolic was more important for a long time however nowadays there is much debate on the subject. http://www.bloodpressureuk.org/BloodPressureandyou/Thebasics/B... You Systolic is pre hypertension and your Diastolic is hypertension, it is far too high to ignore. My BP has come down recently and is 145/62. My diastolic is great but systolic could be better for sure. I believe text book is 120/80 so looks like Wayne is a 'textbook example' of health  | ||

I'm pretty sure it's been measured at 120/80 before though. Readings do seem to vary. Total cholesterol : 4.02 Ratio : 5.2 BMI : 36.96 - loal Due to being so overweight I had to have a blood test for diabetes, which came back as negative | ||
