Blood pressure raised by my wife.

[MaeJoMTB]

Was playing with the MiL's electronic blood pressure cuff today.

Sitting quietly ........ 95/60

Sitting quietly with the wife muttering at me ........ 125/80 .... 'go away, I'm trying to do summit, you're messing it up!'.

Sitting quietly again ...... 97/62.

Conclusion: wife is bad for blood pressure.

Was amazed at the different readings, 100% reproducible.

[MaeJoMTB]

Pulse slightly elevated at 68bpm (normal for me 45bpm).

Conclusion: ThaiVisa better for blood pressure than wife.

[nikmar]

How about trying it at Immigration?

[colinneil]

I was at the physio today.

2 new young beautiful physios, holy hell they took my bp 168/98

Later male physio took it 147/90.

Took blood pressure when arrived home wife assisting 138/86.

[pgrahmm]

I'm usually at 128/78 w 58 bpm.....

But in the 90's was getting head rushes under pressure and a bloody nose at times......stressful job + brought my sick Dad into my home - - stress 24/7.....

Went to see the Dr

207/139

Lucky to still be around & healthy....

Viagra lowers blood pressure. One pill should satisfy both you and the wife.

What do you need a wife for? And I thought people get married that they have food on the table and their clothes washed?

The OP should be thanking his wife for helping him to avoid dropping into a hypotensive state.

[ezzra]

Get a Mia Noi, dose wonders to your body and minds... not so much to your wallet....

[gyrosman]

I don't need a machine to show me my blood pressure as my ex-Russian wife had the same effect.

[Sutty]

My wife gets mine to rise all the time I love it.

[sanukjim]

How old are you ,your weight ? Activities.?

Maybe you should get divorced; if you are unhappy with your wife. Normally a girl will get like this when she is tried of a loser husband.

It takes two to Tango. Ask your neighbor.

They did. Back in the 1950s.

The OP is wasting his time with one of the electronic devices. They will give a reproducible reading. Accuracy is a matter of chance. I used to fall about laughing when they took my BP at Chiang Mai Ram. Turning the unit over, it had not been recalibrated for 7 years.

Think of measurement as an archery target. If you land all your arrows in an outer ring very close together, that is reproducibility. You need to hit the bullseye every time if you want accuracy.

The only accurate method of measuring blood pressure is with a mercury manometer and cuff in the hands of a skilled practitioner. As these are in fairly short supply, the electronic BP machines have taken over. They should be recalibrated every three months, but that rarely happens.

Now that's funny.

[bazza40]

Playing with his mother-in-law's equipment in front of his wife? OP's a brave man.

Your not alone mate!

When I was 19 we all had to get a check up as a requirement to government summer job. The nurse that came out to the location was a stunning redhead with the cutest freckles. While she administered the tests she leaned towards me and I discovered the freckles were evenly distributed well below the neck. First time I had ever gotten a high blood pressure reading.

[mogo51]

It would be off the planet!!!

[dotpoom]

If I could get a Thai person to answer a simple question with a simple "Yes" or "No" (including, she who must be obeyed) instead of the usual long winded version, then my BP would drop so low that I would probably by all accounts....be dead.

PS...it's like the man said....why use 1 word, when can use a 1,000.

If you pulse is 45bpm you must be an iron man. At least your ticker won't wear out. The reading you took while you wife was nagging you is considered a very good pressure. All in all you wife won't kill you ,from nagging that is. It is more likely she will stab you to death or push you out a window above 6 stories high. Good luck and live long.

[NickJ]

A reason to not buy her a bike so she can follow you on your rides perhaps?

[MaeJoMTB]

How old are you ,your weight ? Activities.?

60 years old, 76Kg, 182cm.

Yesterday cycled cross country into CM on mountain bike, round trip 40Km.

Today hiked on Doi Suthep mountain, 4hrs, round trip 16.5Km.

Tomorrow will road bike up to Wat Doi Suthep, 28-60Km round trip.

Friday .... will do nothing.

That's a normal 4 days for me.

Somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000KCals a day of exercise.

If my memory is correct, you have previously posted life is over past 60.

Based on your BMI and BP, unless something untoward happens, you will live at least until 80.

S##t. I have to put up with you for another 20 years?

Why, has she got high blood pressure too?
