Good morning havasulady,
I am 80 years young and at 17 years of age, I Joined the US Army National Guard. My oldest brother was drafted, our middle brother joined as did I, the younger of three boys.
My BP was 161 over 97 at that time and ever since then, my BP readings have averaged between 175 systolic over 92 diastolic. I have had a triple bypass in 2017 and the Cardiothoracic surgeon said, "your BP is high but its the same when we anesthetized you. Try and lower it a bit with diet changes." I smiled and thanked him for his time. Delightful human. He was very wise and understanding.
I have never been overweight, smoked some until 1975 then quit, and perhaps have consumed less then two or three gallons of beer in my lifetime. I don't like the stuff. I work out with my wife and we ride our bikes about 100 miles or so every week. We think were blessed with good jeans but also with balanced diets that enhance what we have left of ourselves.
Hang in there and be patient: usually, any foreign agents in our gut or blood stream, either by our own desires or medications can effect our varied readings. Best to you; Joseph
