How many times did "your doc" read your blood pressure before putting you on medication?
I had a BP reading of 152/75 last week. The doctor told me to consider medication and to quit lifting. He said it was impossible for me to have a normal BP reading at home, and that feeling uncomfortable at his office wouldn't raise my systolic that high.
I prefer phenylephrine nasal spray. oxymetazoline takes too long to relieve the congestion. I also try to only use it at night, but some days I need to use it during the day. I’ve tried doing a nasal lavage, but it just doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Interesting topic, the blood pressure. The doctors told my mom when I was born I wouldn't live for 6 month,my heart was so fucked up. I've lived to be 36, my blood pressure never dropping below 145, and still here I am lifting relatively heavy and drinking relatively not moderately. Do you guys think I should get on some kind of blood pressure medication? I really want to make it to 45. I think we have interesting times ahead of us.
