Hypertension: Htn...You have it. Now, how best to deal with it? Diet (low sodium), regular exercise & weight loss (10-15#) can have a dramatic impact on bp. If ineffective, then talk to your physician about appropriate medications.

Hello! I recently had an annual exam with a blood pressure of 136/76 which the nurse said was good. They didnt say anything else. I looked up the numbers online and 136 seems high. In the past couple of years my systolic numbers have been 118 and 128. Im 33 years old with a vegetarian diet. Wondering if the recent quarantine sedentary habits have contributed to higher systolic BP. What is your advice? Thanks! Blood pressure
