Blood Pressure FAQ

1. Atenolol affects sexual activity. What is the substitute for atenolol?

Atenolol is known to cause sexual side effects, including impotence, decreased sex drive and difficulty reaching orgasm. Atenolol causes impotence by blocking the sympathetic activity of the nervous system, interfering with the relaxation of penile blood vessels, making it difficult for men to achieve an erection.
So you should talk to your doctor about switching to a different beta blocker. Alternatives include metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL), nadolol (Corgard), and propranolol (Inderal).

2. What is the normal blood pressure and abnormal blood pressure?

For a normal reading, your blood pressure needs to show a top number (systolic pressure) that’s between 90 and less than 120 and a bottom number (diastolic pressure) that’s between 60 and less than 80.A normal reading would be any blood pressure below 120/80 mm Hg and above 90/60 mm Hg in an adult.Numbers higher than 120/80 mm Hg are a red flag that you need to take on heart-healthy habits.
When your systolic pressure is between 120 and 129 mm Hg and your diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg, it means you have elevated blood pressure.Although these numbers aren’t technically considered high blood pressure, you’ve moved out of the normal range. Elevated blood pressure has a good chance of turning into actual high blood pressure, which puts you at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

Hypertension: Stage 1
You’ll generally be diagnosed with high blood pressure if your systolic blood pressure reaches between 130 and 139 mm Hg, or if your diastolic blood pressure reaches between 80 and 89 mm Hg. This is considered stage 1 hypertension.

Hypertension: Stage 2
Stage 2 high blood pressure indicates an even more serious condition. If your blood pressure reading shows a top number of 140 or more, or a bottom number of 90 or more, it’s considered stage 2 hypertension.

Danger zone:
A blood pressure reading above 180/120 mm Hg indicates a serious health problem. The AHA refers to these high measurements as a “hypertensive crisis.” Blood pressure in this range requires urgent treatment even if there are no accompanying symptoms.
