lower my blood pressure

No that I have lowered my daytime pulse to 60, I need to lower my BP down to 120/80. 140/90 is too high. I will up the exercise, lower salt, increase raw food, take B5 and hawthorne berries – and get right back to you.

No that I have lowered my daytime pulse to 60, I need to lower my BP down to 120/80. 140/90 is too high. I will up the exercise, lower salt, increase raw food, take B5 and hawthorne berries – and get right back to you. Here’s a helpful chart I found: http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/39249/Human_Blood_Pressure_Range_Diagram.htm

- what I mean is that it was a false alarm. It really cost me in terms of wasted worry. But, it did get me motivated to exercise more, so I guess it was good.

This is an ongoing effort that needs better results.

So far the trend is in the right range…

I have managed to see 138 over 92 last week…

A High Normal for my Systolic and a Mild Stage 1 for my Diastolic.

One day at a time…

1. less SALT
2. less SODIUM
3. less FAT
4. less SATURATED FAT
5. less ALCOHOL
6. less CAFFEINE
7. more EXERCISE

...enough to at least lower the dosage of medication, if not get off of it entirely.

When the nurse took it, it was 150/104…when the doctor took it, it was 138/82. And that’s after being off the meds for 24 hours (I’d just run out of my pills). So it is going down, slowly.

...when I got out one of my pills to take yesterday, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to take it with – and came back to find that the cat ate my pill! Fortunately, after a panicked call to the vet, it turns out he would just be a bit woozy for a while, but that’s it, and he’s fine today.

to consistently work on getting my blood pressure down to a healthier level. It’s borderline high but I know that now is the time to do something about it before it goes any higher. The best thing I did for my blood pressure yesterday was to emphatically speak up for myself when I felt someone was being manipulative at work. Because I was directly affected by the situation I addressed the issue directly and felt great about it when it was all over. There were some surprised looks when I left the room but, hey, they’ll get over it…and my blood pressure probably dropped a couple of points because I didn’t hold it all in.

I should be dead.
