Great questions. There are quite a few Connect members who could weigh in on this. Let me introduce you to a few. Please meet @teatime @lynnkay1956 @cindi819 @gonefishinmt @kathyjohnson who are all dealing with high blood pressure and hypertension.

Revvirr, what explanation did your doctor give for the sudden rise in blood pressure?

Apart from my Dr’s explanation of the basic working of the heart…he really didn’t give me an explanation (i.e. the “why" it was happening) at least an explanation that satisfied me. As a result, I have assumed that it is a normal part of my age group and something I simply have to learn to live with. Thank you for these threads I will certainly follow through with them.
