So, my doctor determined I had hypertension. (High Blood pressure for those who don't understand doctor speak well)
She put me on a med for that.
Today's measurement:
108/83 with a pulse of 111
ONE of these is a good number.
I've been removing some salt from my diet.
Literally haven't added any outside salt to anything. Tonight's steak was cooked using pepper/garlic/onion. No salt. No salt added to my salad. Probably had salt in the dressing, but nothing I added. (Side note, steak is tasty. I can tell there is no salt added, but it isn't bad, just different)
My diastolic (bottom number) and my pulse have both been high since my accident in 2016.
Nothing I do seems to drop them very much. I think my *sleeping* pulse is like 76 or something. It doesn't get much more relaxed than sleeping. It's worried me, minorly, since I noticed it.
We'll see how it goes.
oo
just did a quick google search
Looks like the 83 diastolic is actually an ok high normal number. :)
Alright, dinner eaten, gotta put the leftovers away, then go to bed. So tired. and working at 8 tomorrow
