Blood pressure has so many factors, I had borderline stroke pressure, and never even knew it. Naturally, I had to get it down for a health card, so they monitored me for like a month. I swear, it was all over the place. Once it was off the scale, the dr. said, um, what did you eat? I said, a bag of double dipped chocolate covered peanuts, he said, don't do that. Another time, I worked nights, so I'd usually go late in the aft. before work, but had to wait until next morning once. I had like 2 thermos of coffee, drove all night, unloaded a trailer, didn't eat, I go in, the dr. says, "perfect", Go figure.

The only time I tested high enough to just get a 90 day card, I waited until late in the evening and had just finished mounting 8 new drive tires. lol
Plus I had been drinking coffee all day.
I cut back on salt and took garlic tablets for a while and passed easy enough, but still somewhat high. I have since gone back to my same old eating habits and even drinking coffee, it has been pretty much perfect the last few times. Go figure.FlaSwampRat and truckdriver31 Thank this. -

Poor diet is one possible issue..Stop eating crap...
Nothing wheat related(breads n pastas)
No can goods
Get out for a casual stroll every so often and get back to basics
Meats,fish,veggies,spuds kinda foods..Stay away from the processed stuff in a package...Read labels and if you cant spell it or read it then it shouldnt be in the food..
A lil blunt in sorry but i bet its all what you eat..
Like someone else said,a bit late to be asking with your dot physical tomorrow...truckdriver31 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
