Another 3 month dot card question

While eating healthy and getting exercise is something you need to do anyway....
Just get the Dr. to write a bp med script. Very common and they help. You'll still get a one year card, so no biggie there.

 

Didn't they lower the bp to 130?

Which will put me in the same position as the op now since i smoke.

 

I just got a new 2 year card bp was 140 over 88

 

That it?

I recall long ago when anything over 90 on the bottom number was a problem. I had trouble when I was smoking at 21 and kicking that thing over 125/92...

Hell, ive carried 230 plus over 150 for a week at a time, day and night round the clock. I should be dead from a thousand strokes but a hospital stay took care of that.

 

Watch for hidden salt in canned foods, tomato sauce in spaghetti has a lot of salt unless you make your own. Fresh is always better if possible. Stay away from a lot of sugary foods and drinks also. Love TV dinners now and then, but one meal can take a whole days ration of salt. The BP meds will help a lot and you should feel a lot better. Lose a few pounds if possible too, that will help bring it down also.
