Medications these days have so many side effects that exercise should be the choir of keeping blood pressure down.
OLDSKOOLERnWV, 06driver, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
I saw that. It's disturbing, because being the eternal pessimist, I see a different approach. The healthcare system is all about money. If they lower the guidelines, it's more money for the already billionaire drug companies, and all down the chain, right to more money for the clinics and doctors doing the testing. Legally, I can't drive a truck anymore, not that I'd want to, but my BP is borderline by the old standards, and would require MORE BP medications, I'm already on 3. This healthcare business is going to be ruin of society, if it isn't already, you'll see.

Im back to normal range for my situation thankfully without BP meds.
I have fought BP before when I was young trying to get hired. I would not be hired because of a simple 135 over 90 something. Silly. I finally got it down to 78 by failing to eat breakfast and leave off the smoke and coffee that day of interview and medical DOT exam. And I was only 21. Not lived long enough to develop much of anything....
For my part, Im very careful how and when or IF I access medical care. I have not gone to the ER for years enduring migraines that usually got a demerol shot back then. I go outside and sit in the cold a hour, poof no more ache.
Here is another tip. Trucker Candy, Moltrin 900 mg every 4 hours. Aint nothing outside of fever that cannot be fought with that.
