Flushed, hot, chapped lips. BP 128/105. Concerning?
Patient: Just went to the dentist and my bp was 128/105 when I got there, 121/81 when I left - about 45 min later.  Knew I had very flushed lips and that has meant high bp for me before so I wasn't surprised but the dental assistant was highly concerned.  Been having hot, flushed lips that are staying a bit chapped for a few months now. Doctor: Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. The normal B P of a young person usually around 120/80 mm of Hg. The systolic Blood pressure ( upper one ) usually elevated due to anxiety or sudden emotions or fear etc. As far as concerned about lower B P ( as in your case 105 )  this is due to any  disease in heart or other disorder . Diastolic B P i.e. lower one ( high ) may be ,1 Any heart disorder , can be confirmed by E C H O  of heart and consult a cardiologist and get his opinion.2 Hypercholesterolaemia ,so get blood for lipid profile . 3 If all above tests come within normal limit then need not to worry and this may be due to tension or anxiety as this may be your nature. Good luck. Dr. HET
