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.
Your blood pressure numbers show how hard your blood is pushing against the sides of your blood vessels (arteries) as it travels round your body. When you have your blood pressure measured it is written like this: 120/80mmHg, which is said ' 120 over 80' . The first number is the systolic pressure, when your heart pushes blood around your body. The second is the diastolic pressure, when your heart relaxes. Blood pressure usually ranges between 90 to 250 for the top or maximum number (systolic) and 60 to 140 for the bottom or minimum number (diastolic). A healthy blood pressure is 120/80 or less, but the lower you can get it, the better.
