@envy52 Your blood pressure is quite high according to all measures - you have what is known as Stage 2 Hypertension. It looks like in your case, a healthy diet, lifestyle and exercise are not enough. There is no shame in taking medication to help after you have done all you can.

Hypertension is serious, and can cause progressive damage over time, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and other diseases. There are typically no symptoms until - BOOM - one day you have a heart attack or stroke.

Here is the latest chart from Mayo Clinic:

May I ask why you do not want to take medication?

The reason I don’t want to take Medication because it becomes a habit And I don’t like Taking any type of medication. But I tried everything for my Blood Pressure and nothing is working 😩 I guess I have to contact my doctor to see what they can do for me. I Appreciate You Responding Back To Me I really thought I was doing something wrong 😑

Thank You 🙏🏽
