Blood pressure measurements don't count for anything if you've been walking around. Ideally, you should be sitting down for at least 5 minutes or so. Blood pressure also can vary during the day, so it's best to get measurements from similar times during the day. No caffeine in the morning either. These measurements should be repeated on a few separate occasions. Some people get "white coat hypertension" when they go to the doctor's office because they are nervous. Probably blood pressure medicines wouldn't kill you. But you don't necessarily need blood pressure medicines if your blood pressure is only high while active. When doctors study the effects of high blood pressure, they study the effects of people who are diagnosed with it as described above. You are probably at no higher cardiac risk from your blood pressure.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
I have high blood pressure. I am 65 years old and take blood pressure med. I am not over weight. I weigh 150 and I am 5' 5". I drink lots of water and eat lots of vegetables but I do eat sweets.
pressure now is 165 over 80. What can I do to lower my blood pressure?
You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com/ ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.
The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

I'm 22 and I was borderline high when I was around 18 years old. Two months ago, I was in the clinic and my nurse told me that my blood pressure is high. I stressed over it so much that I couldn't think about anything else. I bought a blood pressure monitor and sure enough, it was still quite high. So I decided to lose at least 10 pounds over the course of two months, and sure enough, my blood pressure is normal. Diet and exercise was my answer.
Try doing some relaxing yoga poses, to calm you down. Remember, high blood pressure is caused by stress usually. Also, try to lie down and listen to some quiet music, not something that will excite you or anger you.
