Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I am 26 and have a bp of 148/78 after several days of testing.  I am 6ft 200 lbs, fairly active lifting weights.  I cut out coffee recently (few days ago) and started eating celery to lower my pressure.  I have consistantly eaten on average 2 to 3 fruits and vegitables a day.  How long should I wait until I see my doctor?
[|AI|]  Hypertension means the excessive pressure on the arterial (blood vessel) walls. The normal range of BP is 100-140 systolic and 60-90 diastolic. You can very much control the BP elevation by lowering the level of sodium intake which includes common salt and baked food (baking soda is sodium bicarbonate) and slightly increasing the use of food which are diuretic in nature. If you have diabetes along with hypertension reduce the fruit and sweet intake.
