Tag Archives: Hemplerâs Ham. Demi Baguette: The Not-So-Humble Ham and Cheese Sandwich. The first sandwich started with a few basic ingredients: meat, bread, maybe some cheese.

Highest blood pressure ever recorded. 1 I was in intensive care with idiopathic heart failure, kidney failure, pneumonia and water on the lung. I had my BP measured at 340. Apparantly, the consultent told my wife that that was the highest bp he has measured on somebody that went on to survive. This was last year, and apart from having regular dialysis, I am perfactly fine, and am back to work full time. What in your experience is the highest bp of somebody who went on to be OK.
As defined by the American Heart Association, the top number, or systolic blood pressure is normally less than 120 (mm Hg, millimeters of mercury), and the bottom number, the diastolic blood pressure is normally less than 80 (mm Hg). In other words, 118/78 is considered normal, but 120/80 is not. Prehypertension is defined as a systolic pressure of 120-139 or a diastolic pressure of 80-89. A systolic of 140 or greater, or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 or greater is defined as hypertension, or high blood pressure. A hypertensive crisis is a diastolic pressure of greater than 110 or a systolic pressure of greater than 180; this requires emergency attention.
