Let's check tonight's b.p. reading... 131/75.
I've been avoiding salt, sugar, and high fat foods, but the stress is endemic to my life. Responsibilities must be honored. What do?

I hear you on that. But my doctor frightened me a bit. I always get nervous in the doctor's office, but my shit was so high he wouldn't tell me what was. So, I got afraid. I'm improving, but this medication makes me feel strange. Not bad, but strange. Doc said that's normal. I'm sure I'm overreacting to a common problem, but I'm still a little bit freaked out.

How is your sleep and exercise routine?

Post BMI and weight. Meaningless to discuss blood pressure without these details. You're probably overweight.

130/75 is fine. Best way to lower BP is exercise, diet, quit smoking and drinking, and learn to meditate.
If that fails, then meds.

Practice deep breaths. No really it works.
