BP back down
Feb. 16th, 2011 09:28 pmFor the last two weeks, even double-dosage meds haven't kept my BP down, the diastolic was in the 88 to 92 range, and by Monday it had crept back to 97. My doctor wanted it at 82 or below.
I rode yesterday and in the evening it was at 77. I dropped back to the original med dosage, and rode again today, and my bp is 79.
I think both exercise and mild meds are preferable. With just exercise, I was hovering at 88. I'd much rather be down below 80. I'd love to be below 70 but I'll settle for this.
