I have noticed that both my Blood pressure (normally below 115/70) is now running higher too. Lately my heart rate can be as high as 115 and low as 76. My blood pressure is around 125/80 to 138/80.
Please tell me other that losing weight, and destressing, is this within considered out of normal range. I am 43 years old.
