90% of Chaldean have hypertension, its in our blood. Go get tested for real, do not depend on those tests ;)

yeah, I'm afraid even taking this test will raise my blood pressure, so I'll pass.

High blood pressure can also cause nose bleeds..

really^^^ I get those sometimes. And before a while, I use to get light headed from getting up.

I stay active though...like I exercise mon to fri 30 minutes of treadmil. I do 30 minutes of cardio and hit three miles...so one mile for every ten minutes.Berfore that, I use to do that everyday...but then I felt my body was tired, so I took 2 days off, the weekend. And I actually use to weigh 260 pounds before 2-4 years ago, and now I weigh around 198-205.

But my eating habits need improving...if I eat at home, I am good, but if I don;t then sometimes its good, sometimes it not so good.

I'm trying so hard to keep my B.P. under control, but it really fluctuates from below normal, normal, to high. I fear I am going to have high B.P. because of family history which sucks, but I am sexy so high B.P. will have a hot spokesperson..lol

Well i remember the first time my nose was bleeding, i was really stressed out with school and one day i wasn't feeling normal, i knew it was my blood pressure and it was high, the next morning my nose was bleeding ALOT and it scared the hell out of me...

But high blood pressure isn't the only thing that causes nose bleeds, here is a website that tells u other things that causes nosebleeds..
