[|Human|] Hi I am 39 yrs old and 7 weeks ago I went to the doctors and bp was 150/100 and have cholesterol 6.3. I have been exercising daily, meditate and have changed my diet. I went to docs yesterday and bp was 126/90 but the diastolic fluctuates as it was 90, 88 and 80? What should I do as I have been told that the doctor will advise me whether to go on pills. I dont want to as I feel fine and bp has come right. I was told by the nurse that it is the diastolic which I should keep down??? Thanks.
[|AI|]  Firstly blood pressure is categorized in these catagoriesnormal BP is less than 120/80pre hypertensive stage is 120 to 139/80 to 89 grade 1 hypertension (mild) is 140 to 159/90to 99grade 2 hypertension (moderate) is 160 to 179/100 to 109grade 3 hypertension (severe) is 180 and above/110 and above your diastolic BP whether it is 90 or 88 or 82 falls under prehypertension stage so right now for treatment of prehypertension stage lifestyle modification is advocated do strenuous exercise daily for at least 45 min a day take low salt diet Chat Doctor.
