At my last yearly checkup last August, my doc mentioned that my blood pressure was borderline high (147/76). He eluded that blood pressure medication could be in my future.
I don't want to go on any medications. Today I checked BP at 157/79. I need to correct the bp issue before my next dr appt in August. So I've got 4 months to do it.
I suspect that diet is the biggest culprit in my high bp. So I'll start fixing that.
I don't think weight is an issue. BMI between 25 and 26. I don't think lack of exercise is an issue. I exercise at least 5 days a week (run, bike, hike, weights)
For those of you battling high blood pressure, what works for you?
