[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BUy your own blood pressure cuff and keep track. My doc likes it when I bring in my records. Pay attention to the sodium content of everything you buy. Before going on real medication you can also go on a diuretic and see if that helps. That's what I'm on. Pay attention to how much caffeine you ingest. Caffeine raises blood pressure. Except for am coffee everything else is caffeine free. [/quote] Are you taking an over the counter diuretic, or prescribed by your doctor? My BP has been borderline high for a year or two and I think it's now creeping into the officially high range. I am healthy and in my late 30's with a strong family history of hypertension so it was pretty much a matter of time. I would be open to trying the diuretic first.[/quote]
