Pinging just about anything, for me, just about always has no less then ten percent echo request timeouts. For the most part it's quite a lot more, like twenty five percent. Exceedingly rare is that I sometimes get as low as eight percent timeouts.
Now, this is at home, using my iOS 10.0.1 iPhone 7's Personal HotSpot via WiFi from my macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my Mid 2015 MacBook Pro. It's reasonable to expect there'd be some lossage but I have by now convinced myself that it's not actually my phone's nor my box' fault.
(Note that GeoLocating my IP puts me in Seattle, so every fucking day I get all the local Seattle traffic reports, city council coverage, the occasional Crime Of The Century taking place in Redmond &c.)
There's a data center just upstairs from NedSpace so we get very, very good WiFi there but even so there are more lost packets than I regard as reasonable to expect.
Surely There Is Some Reason?

One of my coworkers, an elderly Korean former smoker, got his blood pressure over 300. You have a ways to go.
If you don't like the pressure, how about a pressure relief valve? Car radiators and pressure cookers have them. You could get one installed in an artery. When the pressure gets too high, the valve pops open and blood sprays everywhere. Cool! If you want to hide it, put the valve in your crotch, and people will think you are a pre-op FtoM tranny on the rag. If you are worried about the blood loss, install the valve up high on your neck and connect it to an overflow tank on your shoulder.
