My blood pressure is not bad, but it could be lower.
I record my pressure every night while reading in bed. It is usually 125/60, but it can be as high as 130/60.
Today i went to the doc for an over 40's health check. My blood pressure sat at his desk was 167/60 odd. After two more goes it came down to 141/60 odd.
So in the day my pressure is quite high as i move around and interact with life.
How do i lower the pressure ? I dont drink or smoke and am athletic and not over weight. I exercise a lot and eat well. I take 100 T4 and 10 T3 as i have hypothyroidism.
In the last year i have noticed my pressure at night has crept up. It would generally be 120/55, quite often in the teens for the systolic reading. I have also had some problems over the last winter with my general health and thyroid meds. I am now much better, but something has happened in the last year to upset my balance. I have been working physically hard developing two houses and we have had a baby so i am thinking maybe i have been pushing it a bit too much and the cortisol levels have gone too high.
