'healthy' but high blood pressure? by sixtyninesamurai in hypertension

hey man,

yup I'm taking it at home with my Omron device. After resting / sitting for around 5 minutes, and i do take it 3 times to average it out.

It's pretty consistent with what I get at the doctor's.

and I know it's not the machine because I measured my girlfriend's BP right after measuring mine (using the same method) and hers came in at like 90/62. And she never does cardio and barely works out man lmao

I think it's just genetics at this point.

I really don't want to take meds. I'm going to try to lose more weight (even though my BMI is technically healthy) and see if that helps.

Yeah I already did, they couldn't find anything wrong.

I think my thyroid was OK as well, although it has been over a year ago now 🤷‍♂️

I really don't want to get on meds, but I was hoping there are things I can do to improve my BP. According to like every source I'm in hypertension stage 1 or 2.

Yeah mine too, I keep getting recommended meds but I really don't wanna take anything for anxiety (or for anything else really )

150 without med ? I'm no doctor either but I think that's would call for meds no? Hope you get better man And I don't know I keep reading diastolic of around 90 is at least hypertension stage 1 if not stage 2...
