My blood pressure readings are starting to read like yours.....but then when I was sitting at the pharmacy & checked my blood pressure there, it was normal....but went to a health fair & it read high there.....140/80+; 150/80+. The strange thing is that when I was dealing with anorexia, my blood pressure was LOW. I commented to my pain specialist who has been the one pointing out my "higher" blood pressure that my blood pressure was nice & low when my weight was lower. (I was just getting through the anorexia when I started to see him after moving across the country & leaving my past behind). He said...NO....you don't need to have lower weight.....but I would rather have lower weight & lower blood pressure honestly.

I have been thinking about going to the exercise classes at our extension office.....they started the Zumba exercise classes there. Love the latin dances, so think that would be not only great exercise, but great music to exercise to. Just have to get my body out of my COLD house, out into the cold & go work out.....need to find someone else interested in going think that might help also.

Know that my dad had high blood pressure all his life & it went untreated for so long that it damaged his blood vessels which caused the plaque to catch on the damaged areas. He had a heart attack at 65 & had 9 bypass surgery right after they stabilized him. Definitely don't want to go through that....thank you NO.

It's hard to get my mind around the fact that I am having to deal with high blood pressure after it being so LOW for so long. I would pass out all the time.

Have heard that those individual trampolines are good exercise for high blood pressure.....soft landing unless you fall off of it. My orthopedic surgeon got me to get one of those tiny trampolines after one of my knee surgeries. I really enjoyed bounding on it actually, but it's still in California with the rest of my things that I moved away from including my husband. Ugh, I should have very low blood pressure now that I left him.
