Blood pressure- advice

[Orangesandlemons77]

My blood pressure is measuring around 135/90 to 128/95 today, would you tell the GP or just try and manage it yourself first?

I'm 46 and need to lose some weight. Been ill with shingles so more sedentary than usual too.

It used to be normal about my last reading (around a year ago)

I had high BP am also a bit overweight. I upped my cardio and have been drinking beetroot juice. It's lowered. Yours sounds fine now anyway and is probably linked to your shingles?

Thanks, I also have anxiety so its been stressing me out. Which won't help I know!

I checked online and it said pain can increase BP so could be the link with the shingles.

Yes I think so too. You have nothing to worry about. I'm Europe they don't worry until it's after 90 diastolic.

I have found some charts online and it also says normal for my age, so that's good. Thanks.
