Any followups on this?
High blood pressure is a big deal. Don't mess around if you have it.
1) Is the tester accurate?
2) Did you rest a few minutes before taking the test? Or did you do it after running up 8 flights of stairs? ;-)
High (or low) blood pressure is a big deal. Get it checked correctly, and if you have it, work on getting it treated. If you can't get it done via lifestyle changes, then medication can help a great deal but it can be hard to find the right drug.
(My mom had hypertension and had trouble for years keeping it under control. Part of it was her not giving up smoking. Part of it was difficulty in finding a drug that was compatible with her physiology. Part of it was her having the money to pay the cost. She ended up having a severe stroke that took her down, over several years...)
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
Scott.
