I've got this digital automatic blood pressure machine, and whenever I check my BP, it keeps showing around 13292, averaging about 13090. I'm really curious about how I can get it to go down to 11575. I'm thinking being overweight might be part of the issue. Can you give me some advice on how to get my blood pressure to a normal range?

It is better advised to check the blood presssure with the mercury appartus rather than digital bp machine for accurate bp measurement results..

I've been feeling some heaviness in my chest, not so much pain but more like there's something pressed against it. It's also affecting my sleep. My left shoulder and fingers feel a bit numb too, but it's more discomfort than pain. I used to smoke occasionally, like one or two cigarettes every few months, and I drink less than three days a month. All these chest discomforts have been around for about two years now. I saw a doctor back then and they said everything was fine, but it got worse with numbness and lightheadedness, and they said I had spondylosis. I've also had a shoulder injury since 2009, which I didn't really take care of. I'm trying to figure out if this is heart-related, gastric problems, or something due to my shoulder injury. It's really starting to affect me a lot. What could be causing these issues?
