Tips on high blood pressure? The bottom number is 3 digits which I've never had happen before

[Sleepy Floyd]

I work out and I'm physically stronger than I've ever been

But I have been stressed and barely sleeping

My sister is 25 and she's slim and had a stroke, so it's not really just a flabbynsick thing. Not looking good for me

UPDATE: Blood pressure is good. More cardio and less salt/sugar. Down 30 lbs

Jesus christ!

You need to get perscribed meds now

Natural ways to lower it would be too lift weights cut out salt and ultra processed foods and drink a swig of vinegar and take baby aprinin

I would say exercise but you got that already.

How’s your diet? You should have your cholesterol levels (LDL) in case they’re high. You may need to go on a statin to control cholesterol levels.

Also, if you’re a smoker, try to cut down. Smoking constrcits your blood vessels, making it hard for blood to flow through, which increases your BP.

My diet isn't great

I thought that since I go to the gym a lot and lift heavy, I could eat whatever

Garlic or garlic pills

Get a good amount of sleep
See a cardiologist
Maybe pills and even start incorproating baby aspirin

Damn son! Lemme guess you take pre workout too?

Cleanup your diet, sleep better, and improve eating habits first and foremost and do more cardio and see a doctor

Edit: “the bottom number is three digits”
My guy your systolic (top number) is also 163

Did you do any physical activity before this test? Your pulse is normal though. Unfortunately even if you do all this, some black people are predisposed to high blood pressure and need meds. You don’t want to have a stroke in your mid years and no kidney fxn

Yikes naw man...


Stay away from fast food, soda, alcohol, preservatives laden food etc, most food in the United States is poison.

Triple digit diastolic means you need to see a doctor as soon as you can and get prescribed medication

Welcome to the club that nobody wants to join.

I'm 15% body fat and I'm a liable to score between 80-90 on my bottom number anytime I'm at the Drs office.

Go to urgent care and see if you can get blood pressure meds asap. Let your primary care physician sort out the rest later.

You gotta go low salt for about a month. Here's the kicker, it's everywhere in the states, even in ketchup.

You'll also have to do cardio, at 160/100 you'll have to stick with low intensity cardio and work your way up to more intense cardio.
