Mine has always been low, it's been higher than normal for about 6 months; but Dr says it's due to being in pain!!

HAVE you lowered your salt intake ? and a lot of times pain will cause your blood pressure to raise ! that is how sometimes your DR. knows you are in a lot of pain ! if you usually have a lower pressure then what you have on some appt's love always michele just one thing that can account for high pressure ! joy , peace and love !

Are you regularly taking naproxen/ibeuprofen? Elevated blood pressure and increased risk of cardiac events are one of the (very often overlooked by doctor's) side effects of long term use of NSAIDs.

When I was on 10+ meds a day - for RA, depression, insomnia, etc - my blood pressure was regularly in the range of 200/150. Seriously high. Now it's usually about 110/70. But, mine case was one of total misdiagnosis, so stopping all the meds I didn't need made mine better.

That said, exercise is really one of the best things to lower your blood pressure. I know how incredibly hard that can be, though.

The only natural way is no salt caffeine and limit got beef to about once a week
Did they take your pressure on both sides
And did they do it the old fashion way or electric

I have to take prescription medicine and watch what I eat. Trying exercise too. At this point, I don't think I can go without meds, but I was on 4 meds for it last year, so I've improved. You way want to try a low carb, low salt diet.
