I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Blood Pressure (BP) Value: 14090*
This BP value is considered elevated, but not severely high. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal BP value is:
- Systolic (top number): Less than 120 mmHg
- Diastolic (bottom number): Less than 80 mmHg
A BP value of 14090 falls into the category of "elevated blood pressure," which means your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent further increases.
Regular Body Pain
To address regular body pain, your doctor may recommend the following checkups:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): To rule out underlying infections or inflammatory conditions.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): To measure inflammation in the body.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test: To assess inflammation and potential underlying conditions.
- Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs): To rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause body pain.
- Vitamin D levels: To check for deficiencies, which can contribute to body pain.
- Imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound): To rule out underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

I've been noticing that my resting pulse rate is around 90-100, and sometimes it even goes above 100. I often feel these strong heart palpitations. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, and my blood pressure is fine too. I'm 24 and weigh 67 kg. People say it might be due to anxiety, and yeah, I do worry about my career and family like everyone else. I don't eat junk food, and I drink about 3-4 cups of tea a day max. I'm just really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Could it really be just anxiety, or should I be looking into something else?
