Ray ,take care of yourself as High Blood Pressure is a silent killer .They can get you under control very quickly now days but at least you know its there .I was diagnosed as borderline High several years ago and have been finew since with medication .My Dr actually had me go to a fire dept every other day for two weeks to have my pressure checked at different times of the day to give him an idea of what meds I needed. All the fire houses were happy to do so and all is well. Best wishes and keep us posted .

As John said, take care of yourself and do what it takes to keep it under control. Be well.

Ray,

Be sure you follow the doctors orders, this is the same thing that started with my issues. The Meds keep my bp in check now. Now I have to lose 25 lbs and I will be following dr orders to the tee. Good luck

Just got back from the doctor tonight from another check and pressure has drop into a safe zone for now. At least that is good news. Will be checking it all weekend to see if it stays steady. They are not sure what made it spike. Weight is not a problem since I lost 60 lbs last year.

60 lbs in a year is a lot. What caused the wieght loss? I need to drop 20 or so myself.
