Date: May 01, 2009 02:16PM Yeah, herbal, when I go to my doctor, I am so mellow, my bp's something like 110/70. But on the odd day when I'm consulting a specialist whose bedside manner I don't know, or if I'm accompanying someone else to the doctor's and have my bp taken on a whim, it's elevated, as if to say, "get me outta here!" Blood pressure not an accurate indicator of health at any given moment.
The only thing may be that your sodium ratio is off, but you eat mostly fruits, right? So C. Dove is probably right that it was flukey. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/01/2009 02:17PM by Tamukha. Re: high blood pressure?

I follow a high-fruit diet, and my BP is consistently 100/60. Re: high blood pressure?

Date: May 14, 2009 09:19AM Hi All,
Whether eating SAD or raw, my bp has always been 120/80 on a consistant basis. The only time it was elevated was 12yrs ago when I was experiencing panic attacks. So stressful situations may have something to do with it. My wife has been on bp meds for 20yrs. I wish she would change her diet because if she lost weight that might help. I try not to harp on it with her but since I'm 53 & she's 47 I think it's getting to the point where a diet change may be needed by her to lower it. As the bible puts it nicely, I try to take the plank out of my eye b4 I worry about the speck of dust in her's. Joe Love is patient, love is kind, it is not self-seeking, love ALWAYS protects,always endures. (1corinthians 13) God IS love!! (1john4) Jesus Christ...... The ONLY way to Heaven. I am the Way, the Truth & the Life..(John 14:6) Re: high blood pressure?
