Don't forget to check your BP this New Year. Older brother had a huge spike in his into stroking out territory. He's already on BP meds, a lot of it daily, so now the investigation begins as to why this just came on so fast. I stopped to check mine and was happy it has maintained good numbers. But attribute that to a diet rich in beautiful colored veggies!
 
@MissAmericanPie : I used to have low BP. Once it went to 80/50!

CC1974 : Yes I eat one like that everyday if possible. I never tire of it, I crave it. I make my own olive oil vinaigrette, sans all the chemicals in the bottled ones. I use multiple greens, spinach, spring mix, arugula, romaine and rotate all kinds of veggies. This one had red peppers, olives, carrots, banana pepper rings and cucumber. 🤤
 
@MissAmericanPie : I could eat this but without peppers. Cbear doesn't like peppers.

Do yall do that every day?
I only have mine checked when I have to go to the Dr or dentist 🤪
I'm very fortunate being a fat girl to not have high BP

@Txbutterfly :
I take mine at home about once a month but those home test kits are not the most accurate. I do it at CVS or other pharmacies bc they are more accurate.

@Txbutterfly : I check mine once a week or so. My dad had a stroke a few years ago, and it was likely due to high blood pressure that he didn't monitor, so I've paid attention.

I've had borderline for a while. Went on meds- had to up the dose last year with the stress of the move. Then it dropped like a rock….. until that bout with Covid. Just this week it dropped to the pre Covid level.
Some folks have high BP due to genetics. Mine started in my late 30's despite my exercise and diet habits
