A member asked:

My bp was 140/130, should i see a nutritionist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor first: Your blood pressure is too high and needs to be controlled. Your family doctor should be the starting point. A nutritionist might be consulted if your diet or weight contributes to the problem but first get the BP normalized.
