High blood pressure. help please.

[Brian5225]

okay, so I'm on my fifth day of p-plex, and I've been monitoring my blood pressure every day. It was fine for the first three days 120/74. For the last two days i've taken measurements later on in the day (todays was about two hours after a workout) and I've been getting an average of 139-142/77-80 each time. I've been taking hawthorn berry 1100mg every day. Anything to be worried about? What should I do?

Do this:

3 grams fish oil per day. If the fish oil caps upset your stomach freeze them and then take them.

81 mg baby aspirin per day, take this in the EVENING.

Vitamin D3 gel caps, take 3000 iu per day (3 gelcaps).

Light cardio 2-3 times per week 30-45 minutes at a time.

RELAX. Perception of your blood pressure being high can cause a bio-feedback creating more HBP, so breathe deep and chill. Continue to monitor and see how it goes.

Remember not too long ago under 140 was considered normal.

Well hypertension is known as the silent killer...so you tell me?

I have also found Celery Seed Extract (60 caps) By: Natural Factors to be effective.

140 over 80 is not too bad, try taking 2 doses of 2g of hawthorn twice a day, use some C.S. extract like B said, and try to ccut down on the sodium intake.

140/80 is not bad at all. Up until maybe 2 years ago 140/80 was the number considered normal. Only recently did they change it to 120/80

Consider for a second that the ranges are based on samples of presumed healthy individuals.

I am normally 110-115/60-65. I was at the doctor and they took my bp. I asked her what it was. She said - normal. I again asked - what was it? She said 140/80. I said - thats not normal. She said; the range is up to 140/80, so it is normal.

I informed her that MY normal PB is 120/60. 140/80 is not normal. She said - oh?

I use the celery seed extract B5150 mentioned above. I take one capsule twice a day. I also consume between 6g and 8g of Spectrum brand fish oil a day; sometimes I go as high as 12g.

Keep the fish oil refrigerated and take the capsules at the beginning of your meal, I do this to prevent the fish-flavored burps.

Okay guys thanks for the heads up. I've been trying to stay away from cardio because 1) I'm on a bulk, 2) I don't wnat heart growth from the phera. I take 6g Fish oild per day, and I'll up the hawthorn. I'm also taking no-xplode on WO days and reaper said to stop taking that so I'll see how that effects it. Thanks for the help guys.
