Since switching to a LFHC diet three weeks ago my blood pressure has increased from about 110 to between 135 and 140. Feel OK but worried about this surge. I'm lean and fit (run daily). My BP has been stable for 20 years until now. Anyone with same experience. Likely to pass?

I hope you get to the bottom of your raised BP.
I thought my BP had increased after taking insulin last week, but it was pointed out that it probably only increased when I had to go into hospital and have follow-up medical appointments. My husband has a BP machine at home, and after checking my BP, their assumptions appear to be right.

I'm assuming that your LFHC is a typo.. when you say "keto" what exactly are you eating?
My BP has normalised from being high on an ultra low carb diet (possibly down to weight loss).. are you currently experiencing extra stress?
