Hello, Im new here. I had a question
someone might be able to answer.
Awhile back, I was at my Dr office, and I
was told I had blood pressure that was a
bit high. I think it was like 140/80. I
had a stressful day, so that was a bit
unusual. However it got me to start
keeping an eye on my blood pressure.
Is it normal to sit down, wait 2 minutes,
take the blood pressure, and have a
systolic in the low to mid 130's, then
wait like 2 more minutes and have it drop
down to like 124?
Also, if you take your blood pressure like
4 times ina row(i know its not good to do
that, but sometimes I cant help myself),
and the first 2 readings are say upper
120's, then the last 2 are around 118, is
it better to believe the 118? Due to
sitting a little longer by those last
couple readings?
I was just curious, because my readings
jump up and down a bit usually. I use a
battery operated moniter. I have seen
jumps between mid to lower 130's down to
114 or 118, just after sitting a few extra
minutes.
I have recently began taking garlic
supplements to try and keep my BP in the
normal range.
Hope someone can help!

Hey tatooed guy!
Well, my dad is all into the garlic &
apple vinegar cider. He also has a
treadmill that he uses, but still has high
cholesterol & HBP! I'm a few months
pregnant now, so when I was told by my doc
that I'm hypertensive i nearly lost it! I
did a lot of research online. What i
discovered was a natural way to lower your
blood pressure, with no side effects!
BEing pregnant, i thought this was too
good to be true. Like i said, i did
research, visited the site, checked out
their forum & testimonials. Made a few
phone calls & spoke to ACTUAL PEOPLE that
were able to answer all my questions.
Anyway, long story short, i've been using
that for 2 months now & couldn't be more
happy. I also got my dad to try it out.
It's a breathing exercsie that you do 4
tmes a week for 15 minutes at a time. I'm
seeing results & so is my dad! He was
actaully able to cut down on one of his
meds..diovan i think??
Good Luck...Veronicca
