My blood pressure has gradually become lower and lower since then. I consider that cutting back on booze made the most difference.More recently, I have changed my diet further and lost 25 kgs (4 stones) in weight over the last 8 months and my blood pressure has decreased yet still further.I've just checked it now and the reading was 107/63 - of course it varies quite a bit but that is quite typical.Mine is lower than that of my very active sports-mad 13 years-old grandson.Now, I'm expecting my GP to cut back on my medication at my annual review which is due to take place soon.I am 65 years old.Best Wishes - John</blockquote>
