What is your weight/Bp?

Just wondering how weight affects blood pressure. Anyone care to share their weight and BP? ...or on the flip side, how losing has decreased your Bp?

    my weight is 169lbs and last time i had my bp checked (2 weeks ago) i was at 133/85 2 months prior though i was at 145/95 (eek!)

    however at my heaviest (220lbs) my bp was still around 135/80something, so no change really.

    (and i'm 26 if that helps)

    My BP was always lowish 90/60 until I put on weight... Every time I went to the doctor after the weight gain it was around 110/80 I would comment on how that was high for me and they'd say perfectly normal.

    I'm a little slow.. It took me ages to connect it with the weight gain.

    I moved and haven't found a new doctor yet. I'm curious to see if I've rebounded now that I've dropped 30 pounds.

    My weight has never affected my BP. At 166 or 110 pounds, it's always 110/60. Except once it was 104/60, but I was having a particularly happy day.

    AT my heaviest (284) I was on a generic diazide & a beta blocker to get my blood pressure to 130's/80's. I'm at 156 now and only take a water pill now and my bp is usually around 112/80, and sometimes as low as 106/69:) Weight loss definitely helped me.
