    But you can not start a new thread without a certain number of posts being posted.
    There may be other conditions as well, but I don't remember.

    There is a rule book around here, somewhere.

    Please stay away from sugar, salt, fry foods. Eat fruits and veggies, chicken and fish. Lose weight bro. You are 110 lbs overweight, a whopping 110 lbs. Drop those pounds and youe BP will automatically drop.

    I dunno.
    I am 6', sometimes 6'1", depending on who is measuring me, and around 165 pounds.
    Low sugar and salt intake (my blood tests always come back saying I have a low sodium count with everything else being in the normal range), and I eat mostly salmon and chicken, always with veggies. Rice or potato to go along with.

    Weight and food are not always the main factors with blood pressure.
     
    SL3406 and Gabe85 Thank this.

    Your case is very rare. In most cases fat people have high BP. People in pain(my case) have high BP too. Physical pain increases blood pressure

    Pain (physical or emotional) causes stress, so it is understandable.

    I strongly disagree with this. :D but I also love bacon.
    Seriously though, everyone always wants to blame bacon when they have high BP or cholesterol. I was in the same boat. Elevated BP and cholesterol. Doc wanted to put me on pills and I refused. Went back and started eating like my grandparents did. Bacon and eggs every day for breakfast. And not store bought garbage either. Salt cured and smoked bacon from a local butcher shop.

    Went back to the doctor 2 months later and my blood pressure and cholesterol levels were normal and I lost 20 lb.
