I try to keep my blood pressure in a normal range by avoiding triggers, diet and exercise. I’m glad that going into my 30s I figured out some stress relief methods thats working for me to be less reactive and not letting any and every little thing affect my blood pressure levels.

In reply to Melissa. Melissa: I can completely relate to that! LOL. Anytime I start worrying about high blood pressure and other factors that are stressing me I see a jump in my blood pressure.

We have a history of high blood pressure in our families so this is important to know. Some of my family members are on medications. I am trying to watch what I eat and make sure I exercise so that I can avoid some of these risks. Prevention is important.

Thank you for sharing these facts on blood pressure readings. I too had a false reading that made my Dr concerned. I purchased a blood pressure monitor and realized I have White Code when I went to the Dr. It was scary though. Thanks for helping spread awareness.

Scary stuff. My mother has high blood pressure, and takes medication for it. I am thankful that I haven’t had that passed down onto me. Some doctors thought that I had high blood pressure because every time I would come in to see them, I’d be extremely anxious and have high readings. I once had to keep a log for weeks at home to prove it to them, so now they just call it ‘white coat syndrome.’

I’m sorry to hear about your personal challenges with high blood pressure (and I can totally understand how children can only add to that 😉 ), but I want to thank you for writing such a great post with detailed facts about high blood pressure, from what causes it, to how to help prevent it. There have been a few cases of high blood pressure in my family, so I’m quite careful with my health… Here’s hoping that we all have long, healthy, happy, and relaxing (when we can 🙂 ) lives!

M blood pressure goes up whenever I think about the different factors that cause high blood pressure. I worry because my family is guilty of a lot of the things that cause high blood pressure. I hope we can all get a little healthier and not ahve to worry about this terrible health problem anymore. Thanks for sharing!

It is so important to stay healthy, and all those healthy behaviors will help manage blood pressure. My blood pressure was only an issue when I was pregnant with my son. It would be high one minute, and then normal 10 minutes later. My doctor speculated it might have been the extreme heat wave in Texas, but she monitored me closely for the health of the baby too. That was the first time I realized that blood pressure was important to track. Luckily, I have not had any issue with it since then.

As we have gotten older John and I have been working hard at being more aware of health problems. We have bene changing up our diet for a healthier lifestyle and to reduce our risk of heart disease. This is a great resource of information!
