Blood pressure readings are a curious thing. I don't know about you but when I visit the doctor's office, my blood pressure is always higher than when I measure it at home. One time, my blood pressure read in the 140s and then when the nurse tried it again 30 seconds later but had me put my hand on her shoulder, it read normal, in the 120s. What I have found is that when I keep my head and shoulders relaxed and keep moving my head around to keep my neck relaxed, my blood pressure is in the 120s. To be clear, I do take a very low dose of high blood pressure medication but I don't do a lot of exercise. When I have done a lot of exercise in the past, my blood pressure was very low in the high 100s and low 110s. So, if I was a little bit more diligent about exercise, I think I would be fine.
NOTE: Consult your physician if you are planning on stopping or altering your medication dosage.
I discovered a secret that I want to share with you, which quickly accelerates the reduction of my blood pressure while only doing the light exercise of walking for 20-30 minutes. When walking, I breathe out slowly by pursing my lips like I am blowing a balloon and keeping my neck loose by moving my head around. This helps me quite a bit when I am stressed during the day.
I don't know about you but I love savory foods and have never changed my diet to reduce my salt intake. What I have found is that my salt intake is not a significant contributor to my blood pressure. When I created my effective sleep apnea management techniques, my blood pressure came back down to the normal range. In my opinion, it was my sleep apnea that was causing the majority of my blood pressure issues.
