Question by Paul H: Weight, blood pressure and pulse?
My weight was 322lbs(23 stone) i'm just under 6 foot and a 37 year old male, my blood pressure was 150/100 and my pulse at rest was 100.
I have now stopped drinking alcohol (2 weeks) and started training at the gym 5 times a week for 35 mins a day.
My weight is now 315lbs and pulse at rest 80. I took my BP yesterday with an electronic machine (which the doctor checked along side his) and at 10.50 am was 132/92 this morning (5.20am) it is 150/78 why the big change in readings and will it ever steady out to read roughly the same each day? Plus any tips on lowering it naturally. I eat very healthy with lots of fruit and veg included in my diet(always have) and drink lots of water daily (4-7 pints per day). I'm partial to coffee, strong filtered sometimes drinking 10 cups a day. I use very little salt(virtually none) in my diet but use butter on my bread not marge. Thanks Paul
Best answer:
Caffine is a stimulant and will raise your blood pressure. Being overweight will increase you BP. Best way to lower BP is diet and exercise. If you have done and doesn't lower it enough, doc can start anti-hypertensive meds. Diuretics are first line but any hardly uses them first line. More likey start a beta-blocker, ACE inhibitor or ARB. Keep up with the diet and exercise, that is the most important part. Congrats on the weight loss, keep up the hard work.
