[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3420260, member: 63706"] 120/80 - 130/80 is now considered elevated. 130 - 140 is stage 1. The guidelines do not call for meds in stage 1 unless you've already suffered a cardiac event. The only thing that has had a drastic impact on lowering my blood pressure is an increase in aerobic activity that achieves a target heart rate of between 75 and 80% maximum, such as running. Diet changes that work vary from person to person. You need a certain amount of sodium everyday to maintain proper nerve and muscle function, so don't cut the salt, and don't minimize it, stick to a healthy amount. [/QUOTE]
