Can someone tell me if a blood pressure reading of100/60 is good/bad?

I just had a blood test for an insurance company and got my results back today.Also, I had a positive hemoglobin screen and leukocyte screen and I'm not sure what this means and how to treat it naturally. Olive leaf extract?? I have my HDL and LDL and all that if that helps. I'd sure appreciate any help from people who are truly familiar with this. Thanks! Feel free to pm me if you'd like.

Yes that is a good reading for blood pressure. I always have low blood pressure and the down side is that I'm always cold and my feet and hands get cold easily in winter. Your HDL should be high and your LDL shoud be low, those are your cholesterol levels. Having positive hemoglobin is a good thing, that is your red blood/iron count. Can't say for sure but I'd say your pretty healthy.

I'm no doctor or nurse so I can't say for sure. Maybe someone with more medical back ground than me can tell you more.

Well, glad my pressure seems ok...the two tests that I received "positive" results on were ones that were supposed to come back "negative" so that's why I had the questions.

100/80 is the national healthy average. So you are a little teeny bit low. Eat some salt.

Well, we use Celtic sea salt around here and love it...guess I'll just have to add lots more to the popcorn!

Does anyone have any idea about the tests though? I don't like the thought thought I have some kind of infection in kidneys/liver/bladder. I'm adding cranberry and milk thistle but...??????

Do NOT add more salt.
If you want more info about the test ask who ordered it or give more information. Information is too vague to make a call.

What do you mean you had a "positive hemoglobin screen"? Hemoglobin is what transfers oxygen throughout your blood. Without any, you would die.

By chance, did you get results back on a CBC (Complete blood count) and did the hematologist comment on your leukocytes?

Everybody has HDL and LDL. It's the numbers and ratios that are of concern, although most of the people who are being prescribed statin drugs really don't need them.

I'm not sure what you mean by positive hemoglobin? Does that mean it was low, so you could be anemic? You need to have the number and where it fits on the range. I believe the leukocyte positive could be a sign of infection. Leukocytes are white blood cells, correct? So if they're high, it could be infection. If it was a urinalysis, then it could mean a UTI, but I'm not sure about the blood numbers.

This is what the test result said...and since a doc. didn't order it...an insurance company did, I can't ask the doc.

Leukocyte screen: -positive-should have been negative "leukocyte esterase is an enzyme in white blood cells. When present it may indicate infection of the kidney or urinary tract, including the bladder."
Hemoglobin screen-positive-should have been negative "Hemoglobin in urine may indicate kidney and /or urinary tract disease, but may also occur in normal conditions such as during mensturation(I wasn't).
white blood cells:45
red blood cells: 0
granular casts: 0
I'm thinking this is all pointing to a bladder infection??? thanks!

If you're worried about a bladder infection, start drinking cranberry juice now. Make sure it is 100% natural cranberry juice, not a cocktail. If you are concerned about being anemic, use cast iron cookware. For overall health, start your day with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon honey mixed in a cup of water. These are the things I would do. I've just started taking probiotics with HSO's (homeostatic soil organisms). The name of the product is Primal Defense. You can get it at a health food store.
