My blood pressure has been high some of the last few times it was checked, like maybe 150 over 110, although sometimes it's more like 135 over 90. I am trying other things before BP medicine - reducing salt in diet, cutting back on alcohol (hoping to stop but I don't really want to), cutting out saturated fats, losing weight, cutting out prednisone, using a diuretic to reduce fluid. Just dropping ten pounds makes a big difference in my BP.
