I used to suffer from low blood pressure, ran to see a doctor a couple of times because of it. It went off by itself. But since the normal is 120 and you have 156, a visit at doctors... wait a minute, didn´t the doctor say anything?

I got it checked in a machine with a grip thing that closes around your arm. I was with two friends. I think they had something like 125 and 135. And thanks for replying, everyone. Especially TL

1. You are right on the carbs - beer/bad - Michelob now makes a 4g carb beer called Ultra. I haven't tried it, but I hear it's okay. 2. The other big calorie content booze are Red Wine and.... Whiskey [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] |

Arledrian, it's possible that the machine you used is innaccurate, but a trip to the clinic is still advisable. I wouldn't worry too much until you get it checked out by a professional, you can seek advice then.

Attalus and Rokenn gave you some good advice Arledrian. I strongly suggest you take that advice. Are you experiencing back pains? If you are tell that to the doctor immediately.
Some other things. There´s no harm to eat salt if you´ve got functional kidneys. They will keep the sodium concentraiton stable for you. Quote:

I have three beers left in my fridge. Will that do me for tonight?

Arledrian,
I'm 43 years old and I've had extremely high blood pressure (often hitting over 200 systolic) for the past 15 or so years. Even with medication, my doctors and I have had great difficulty in keeping it down until recently (I was what you'd call a "difficult" case [img]smile.gif[/img] ). I believe that your 156 systolic is considered high borderline, although I might be wrong. At any rate, you should see a doctor about it. You've already been given some excellent advice - cut back on the salt and cholesterol. Stress can also lead to high blood pressure. Do you snore? If so, you might possibly suffer from sleep apnea and this can also raise blood pressure.
