[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2450927, member: 487111"] Hi, [USER=547295]@Deediabetic[/USER] . BP is nothing to take lightly. I recommend talking to your doctor and asking about a home blood pressure monitor, an upper-arm model. I have White Coat Syndrome so mine tends to be high at the doc's office, and even when I check it at home on my own monitor, if I start thinking and worrying about it. It can change 10 points within 15 minutes; I take it 3 times, 5 minutes apart, and record the average. Mine did come down when I tried LCHF eating a couple of years ago, because I lost a lot of weight, but my cholesterol went too high on that diet. I have mitral valve prolapse syndrome dysautonomia (a nervous system disorder) so my BP is all over the place, but I've finally got it in a better range now that I'm on 2 different BP pills and a patch. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
