It's the same with my dad. He works out every day, eats very clean food and is very natural. All about the Organic. But he still has very high bp so the meds are the only thing working for him. I am hoping I don't need meds only because the side effects scare me.

That's amazing everyone! It's doable and we must never give up. I haven't felt this energetic in a really long time.

Hey guys! I thought I should give you an update. All tests came out perfect. I lost 8 lbs so far and my blood pressure has gone down to 117-120/80! Ive been watching my sodium intake, meditating everyday and working out 4-5 times a week. So it is possible for it to go down just with a healthy lifestyle for some. Not for…

Sure!

no.

Wow what a story! I am glad this post is making you feel better. It is for me too. Anxiety really has a huge roll in high blood pressure and I wish docs would look at that more instead of jumping to pills right away. I wish you the best of luck in it all and add me as a friend so we can support each other!!! This is so…

Good for you!!!!! Those are incredible numbers! Well Ive always been 130/80 - go for regular check ups and never had any doc tell me I was at a risk! They should have!!! I don't see myself as a failure taking meds at all. Its the side effects that scare me most based on past experiences. I will take them if the docs insist…

WOW! INTERESTING! Okay well I guess its just a matter of monitoring with my doc to see whats up. Your doctor sounds awesome. I am considered obese according to the BMI charts but at my thinnest I was too thin for my body/bone structure but at the proper weight according to BMI. I didnt have as much energy that size either.…

The doc has not prescribed me meds yet. I am seeing him on Wednesday. Based on my results however I don't think he is going to jump to prescribing me meds right away considering my history. I am borderline right now. I don't think meds are always the answer to everything. I think learning to change your life first is…

That's incredible! Keep it up. We always fall off but we can get back on!!!!
-
That's awesome! I'm hoping I can do all that without meds as high blood pressure doesn't run in my family and I've only had high blood pressure a few months.
-
On top of that it was a walk in clinic. I had an EKG a month later and the docs said I was in perfect health and my blood pressure was down because I was taking anti anxiety meds. I was so stressed out it raised my blood pressure and the docs didn't listen to that. The same thing is happening now. I work 60-70 hours a week…

Wow guys this is all very motivating. Its amazing what a lifestyle change can do. Wannabeesexy I think docs give meds out to patients with that history just to be on the safe side. Whatever works best for you!!!! Good luck with everything :)
-
That's amazing!!!!! Technically by BMI charts I should lose 80 lbs but I used to be 80lbs lighter and I was VERY skinny. It didn't go with my body type at all. I do have my own blood pressure monitor and I check it at different times every day. Might be a bit much. I'm trying to check every other day now. So far it's very…

I definitely don't see meds as a failure it's more how they make me feel that scares me. Last time the docs gave them to me on one reading 6 years ago that was high (I was nervous and at the time my blood pressure was fine normally) and I was scared so I took them and I fell in a depression, couldn't sleep and was dizzy…
-
I heard that can be a factor. I've been on this pill for 15 years. I stopped it 6 years ago for a year because I had a temporary increase in my blood pressure and the docs made me stop the pill. It didn't do anything. Just meditation, working out and fixing terrible things going on in my life at the time did. I went back…

Wow!!! This is all very inspiring! I don't take any meds except birth control. Blood pressure meds have terrible side effects and because I am overweight I know this is a terrible cause along with stress. Way to go everyone for lowering your blood pressure! I hope I can do the same. I have been following the dash diet…
