[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm so glad you asked this question. I am in my early 40s and have always had normal (110/80) BP even through my pregnancies and have never had any problems and then bam, two years ago suddenly it shoots up to 140/90. It was like as if a switch had been flipped. Sometimes the readings are normal and sometimes high, and now I have white coat syndrome because I get nervous every time I have my BP taken, when it used to never be a big deal. I'm 15lbs overweight and basically exercising took a back seat after I had my second one, so I am sure weight is related, but my dr basically said at this point, just go on meds since it's unlikely to come down on its own without a significant change in diet/exercise. I have been exercising daily and my diet isn't terrible, but my BP is still high and at this point I think I will just go on medicine so I don't have to stress over it. I do not understand how I suddenly went from normal to high, but I think the lack of exercise and the resulting weight gain finally caught up to me healthwise. [/quote]
