I know mostly younger guys read these forums and I don't consider myself old (27) by any means but this thread is for those of you who might deal with High Blood Pressure. I read somewhere that Fish Oil's, rich in Omega 3's were helpful so I tried them. The long and the short of it is my top number dropped 28 pts. in a month and my bottom number dropped 7 pts. in the month. Not only that but Fish oil is proven to do much more. I am a believer in them and have seen first hand the benefits that they have. Give them a try!
so what's your bp now? BP is a touchy thing, systolic can fluctuate 30 points almost at random (emotional stress, physical stress, a meal you just ate, etc. can effect this easily) but diastolic is usually the one by which people are most are diagnosed hypertensive by.
I've got high blood pressure. I take medicine and my last reading was 132/84. I quit a two pack-a-day habit two years ago and it went down. Now it's gone back up and my doc says it's all genetics, and my temperment.
