[QUOTE="KzooUPSer, post: 1374828, member: 54427"] Lower your sodium intake, it helps a lot with BP. Also, whenever I went to the Dr I tended to measure a little high on my BP, and they were starting to get concerned. One day when I had an appt, by happenstance, I measured my BP at a kiosk at Wal Mart or something like it.. It came back very healthy. interested, I tested it again at a different kiosk at another location, just to make sure it wasn't a faulty test. The results again were very healthy. Later that same day when I went to the Dr my BP was sky high for someone my age, something like 180/130.. I told the Dr about my experiences with the other tests and we came to the conclusion that I was having some level of anxiety going to my appointments, and this was making my BP skyrocket. He tested my BP again at the end of the appt (About an hour of sitting in the exam room later), and the results were back down in a very healthy range, around 100/60. Explore this possibility if you think you may be experiencing some anxiety or stress during your appointments. Pain can spike your BP as well. [/QUOTE]
