Blood pressure question?
I check my blood pressure every so often. I had hight blood pressure about 8 months ago and was hospitalized like readings over 160/100. Now I usually get reading of 116/63. Whats going on? I changed my diet drastically and take vitamins all the time. Drink water etc...... But do I still have high blood pressure or Is my machine broken? I

Kay,
I have HBP and I find that a slight change in my diet, sleeping habit, and etc can either RAISE my pressure of drop it drastically. It sounds to me like the "simple" changes you made, had a BIG effect on your health. Great Job!
120/80 is a good rating, so if you are 116/63, you're in there like swimwear like chick! Just start a BP diary. Meaning, take your pressure as soon as you wake up, take it once in the afternoon like when you're home after work/school, and then once more before bed. Monitor it for a while to see if your reading is consistent or not. Good Luck!
