[QUOTE="LionChild, post: 2463790, member: 461457"] My Diastolic BP has recently gone up quite dramatically, and my Systolic has come down quite a bit, (but still often in the 130s). I know BP is very important and as you get older it tends to go up, but this is a bit concerning.... For example, yesterday I had several readings with a diastolic in the 90s. Apart from Beta blockers or other drugs, (I am not on any medication for this so far), has anyone any tips on what I might do to bring it down. Total cholesterol is quite high too, ---last measurement several months ago, 5.8, but the ratios seem okay which as I understand it, means it is not a problem.. I go for a half hour walk or more most days; eat very healthily (mostly very low carb diet); don't smoke; glass of red wine most days with evening meal; I am not overweight.... I don't think there is much more I can do to help this high BP. I wondered if too much coffee (2 cups caffeinated a day?) might have an affect, so I stopped that last week, but it has made no difference to the measurement of BP. Would red wine have an impact on it? Anyone know? Should I stop that too? Any opinions out there, or even knowledge of this subject of blood pressure? [/QUOTE]
