I had blood pressure almost like yours a few months ago. I recall once it was like 99/56. But most of the time between
110/70 and 120+/80 (or near that). But recently had a drs appt (after a very bad night emotionally) where it was like 180/90.
Sine then have not been able to get it back down except for a few times where it was 121/74 to 129/80. Otherwise it bops around over 140 to 160 systolic over 83 to 98 diastolic. just increased my bp med and still not below 140 systolic. Even taking extra
magnesium and l-arginine. I workout once or twice a day, get plenty of sleep, have a wonderful relationship with my gf. Eat a good diet, take coq10, tumeric, fish oil, olive oil, coconut oil. I am very frustrated about this. I am 5' 10" and weigh 150. 5% body fat.
