Many GPs/nurses don't measure BP correctly i.e. they test immediately after you walk in and only do one test; they also ignore white-coat syndrome. Also define High BP. All the BP graphs on the web show rising BP with age yet all the graphs stop around age 65. This means those of us in our 70s automatically 'need BP tablets' implying nature got our bodies 'wrong'.
