[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1646534, member: 21149"] I saw my cardiologist today for my annual review. He wanted to put me on BP pills as my BP was 135/73. I challenged this and he said there were new USA guidelines (none from NICE yet) which now places anything over 130 as High BP Level 1. This means 77% of the over 70s population have high BP and even those over 50 it's 50%. I wonder who sponsored this new 'research'? So take note, you may have 'high BP' and not realise it! [/QUOTE]
