Blood Pressure

I was 50lbs overweight and had high blood pressure (140/90-odd). Now I'm at goal it's gone down to
130/80 - nice and normal. You might be surprised at what losing that next 60lbs will do (just some
more motivation for you) 🙂 Fish oil can't hurt, and have many positive side effects. Give them a
try in the mean time - what have you got to lose?

My BP is around 150/90 and he wants it under 145/80 if possible.

He did say that it may be one of those things that will be there whatever and will need medication

Dunno about fish oil, though I add some when I cook rice, just in case🙂

My BP dropped noticeably when I lost weight, but it's within normal parameters. Losing the
other 50lbs is probably the best thing you can do. It will help your BP, and a load of other
potential problems.

By the way welcome🙂
