[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2303372, member: 513948"] This may not apply so please done jump at me - just saying. My BP was linked directly to my weight - my weight came off and i did more exercise my BP came right down to a very good level with no meds. I also cut out all caffeine and significantly reduced my salt content which i think helped. Salt is supposed to be pretty bad for blood pressure, so if you have the option of reducing it it will help, i did find that after the first week of not enjoying missing caffeine i dont notice it at all now and enjoy a decaff tea. i do have the odd proper coffee as a treat if im in a cafe and its fine. I tested the weight/salt and caffine using an at home BP mete, was cheap on amazon. Did a test first thing in the morning and after tea. I could see it dropping week on week - i also saw a marked decrease when i dropped salt and caffine. [/QUOTE]
