[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1623165, member: 438800"] [B]Day One: No coffee[/B] blood-pressure experiment. [B]140/90[/B] at 8:30 a.m. before eating any food. [B]137/84[/B] at 9:30 a.m. half an hour after breakfast. [B]139/93[/B] at 10:30 a.m. [B]127/79[/B] at 1:30 p.m. half an hour after lunch That post-lunch reading is (overall) the lowest I have had, since obtaining the BP monitor nearly a week ago. It is close to the "normal" reading that will satisfy the American Heart Association (namely, lower than 120/80). Haven't had any exercise today, will soon be going out for the regular 3-mile walk and will test again, about an hour after getting home. Like [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] it is clear that my BP fluctuates quite a lot during the day, but the no-coffee figures are suggestive nevertheless, when compared with the coffee-fueled numbers I posted earlier in this thread. I think it will take several days of no-coffee to be sure.:eek::eek: [/QUOTE]
