[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1955089, member: 451727"] Garden gnome, I know what you mean. My blood pressure is always too high when taken at the surgery and I am not IR/overweight/red faced and so on, I follow a lowish carb diet, I run every day, I don't smoke or drink etc, etc...and still my blood pressure is high when taken by the Dr. Interestingly, I went private for this issue and was given a 24/7 ambulatory monitor. This showed that my blood pressure was normal to low over a 24hr period. If they had put me on tablets I probably would have been fainting every five minutes. They really are quick to throw pills at you and then before you know it, you've been on them for years and don't really know why. Sometimes there just doesn't seem to be an obvious reason so they say it's 'genetics', ie they don't know, it's flipping annoying though when it's automatically assumed it's because of 'life style'! :) [/QUOTE]
