Flushed, Hot, Chapped Lips. BP 128/105. Concerning?
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.

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.
