You are doing great! Keep it up and always while exercising be able to talk with out it being stressful u know hard breathing- I have high BP and on meds to control it and my doc says to excercise and at the same time be able to hold a conversation without heavy breathing- ( you do not want your heart to pump too hard but that is with someone in my condition) Keep doing what u are and you will stay in a safe zone alot of BP problems come from family history of it! Good Luck!

Blood pressure measurements don't count for anything if you've been walking around. Ideally, you should be sitting down for at least 5 minutes or so. Blood pressure also can vary during the day, so it's best to get measurements from similar times during the day. No caffeine in the morning either. These measurements should be repeated on a few separate occasions. Some people get "white coat hypertension" when they go to the doctor's office because they are nervous. Probably blood pressure medicines wouldn't kill you. But you don't necessarily need blood pressure medicines if your blood pressure is only high while active. When doctors study the effects of high blood pressure, they study the effects of people who are diagnosed with it as described above. You are probably at no higher cardiac risk from your blood pressure.

Exercise and losing weight are very good for lowering high blood pressure. Also, you might look into the DASH diet for lowering a few points.

Go to your Chiropractor and get your C-3 adjusted. This will bring your blood pressure down.
