Woo-hoo my blood pressure has dropped!

[KatyMac]

From around 145-160/90-98 to around 105/65

Which tbh is still a bit high for me but much more normal than the higher numbers

I've been regularly taking selenium, beta glucans and lutein as new supplements - i reckon its the selenium!

I thought 120/80 were the figures to aim for? Yours sound low now.

I was around 90/58-62 most of my life then menopause and hypothyroid hit and it swooped up

That's amazing. Have you changed anything else like diet or exercise?

Well less exercise cos of more pain but, not a significant amount

Diet is pretty stable

That’s amazing. Are those supplements all recommended for lowering BP? I try to drink beetroot juice but find it hard to stomach! 🫣

I love beetroot on a sandwich but to drink? 😝

Im not sure which one caused it (annoyingly) as although I started them separately to monitor results my BP machine died and there was a delay getting a new one

Mine went from high to normal when I changed line manager at work...

That’s brilliant. How long have you been taking them for?

Off and on since March

Im not very organised - i have all sorts of systems but my brain fog...

Are you sure the old machine wasn't inaccurate?

Well I checked it against a borrowed machine and the new one has been checked on another person so...
