[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1619934, member: 438800"] OK that's it for today. I measured at three points during the day: --Upon getting up in the morning, before eating or drinking anything: [B]125/84[/B] (AHA calls that "Elevated"). --Mid-morning, after breakfast, and after my normal four cups of coffee (I know, I know): [B]138/85[/B] (AHA calls that "Hypertension Stage 1"). --Mid-afternoon, having gone for the usual brisk 3-mile walk late morning, then lunch (mixed salad, avocado, mineral water), then my usual two cups of coffee, reading taken more than an hour after coffee: [B]156/95[/B] (AHA calls that "Hypertension Stage 2"). [B]Average[/B] of the three readings: [B]139/88[/B] (for AHA that is right at the top of Stage 1 Hypertension). I had an excellent night's sleep last night (10 hours) and today has been low-stress. This has been a pretty typical, indeed if anything a rather easy-going, Day At The Office. The next experiment involves eliminating coffee, maybe tomorrow if I have the nerve. (Eliminating carbs seems easy by comparison!!!) You don't want to be anywhere near me when the non-coffee experiment happens.:mad: [/QUOTE]
