Does this mean all the problems associated with high blood pressure are off by the same 6-10 points? If so, why does it make a difference?
I have had issues with HBP for 30 years. On several medications. Need to lose about 30 pounds. Have reduced salt in my diet drastically.
My cardiologist says to take my BP first thing every morning immediately after emptying my bladder.
Two things:
1. If my arm rests on the table about 12” below my heart level reading are about 10mm higher than if I have it resting on a surface at the level of my heart. (Which is how it is supposed to be read.)
2. I normally take evening pills about 8:00 PM. If I delay even a half an hour the readings are another 10-15mm lower than if I take meds at 8:00. Almost like I’m catching their effectiveness just before it drops off.
Try a Walmart Apple Cider Vinegar gummie in the am. Swallow don’t chew.
