I went to doctors last Friday they took my blood pressure was 145/94. so i was shocked she checked it 8 times and wasn't happy with my result. so I got another's doctors appointment on Tuesday for another check up I bit worried about it. I am also worried as I am diabetic type 2.
OK that isn't terrible....
Honestly.
To give some perspective mine was 180 over 120 (at 45 yrs of age). That's really bad, exploding brain high, only symptom was dizziness when lying down.
Yours is high, however, the top number is the one most associated with bad outcomes and 140 is top normal so you're not far off. The bottom one is more elevated (80 or even 75 being a target high number).
Yes T2 is associated with high blood pressure. All part of metabolic disease.
So what to do?
1. Tackle hyperinsulinemia (cut carbs)
2. Keep hydrated
3. Exercise
4. Look into magnesium and potassium supplements
There are very effective meds for high blood pressure now. ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers are often prescribed. I've been on these for 10 years with no side effects. I'm currently trying to drop them with the above actions, it's a work in progress......
So sorry you're having to deal with yet another thing (I really relate to that). Better to know and manage than not know. Good luck with the next appointment, I find it helps to write down all questions before as otherwise I forget
Hugs.
