Blood pressure: You don't want to be diagnosed with high blood pressure after one visit. BP fluctuates. Follow it for a few weeks and see what it does. It is common for people to develop BP issues in their 40's and 50's - as you age, your blood vessels stiffen. Also genetic influences play a role. You can be the world's greatest athlete and eat a perfect diet and still have high blood pressure.
