Woot!!

I've managed to get my blood pressure down and I'm stoked!

Started several weeks ago with intense cardio.
Was:
150 over 110 w/pr @ 101 BPM resting :o

Now:
125 over 74 w/pr @ 76 BPM resting :D

I feel so much better, I had no idea that work and family stress could jack a person up like that. Seems to be getting better and better. Just thought I'd share.

Update...

Still working the cardio like a crack head and now I'm at
116 over 61 w/pr @ 57 BPM resting. If you don't ever check your blood pressure I highly recommend to do so, my quality of life is so much better. Less stress, better sleep, I could go on and on.

I just had my blood pressure checked and it was a little elevated. I forget what it was, exactly, but the bottom number was 93. Probably due to stress at work, smoking and drinking.

Congrats on getting your's down. I'll get mine checked again in about 3 weeks, so we'll see if it's gone down by then.

I need to get mine checked again, the last few times it has been very high, but last two times it was checked i was in the hospital for my knee, and gallbladder so i think pain had something to do with it. Last year when i had my flight physical it was normal. My RHR is around mid 50's. I wish i could get it back down into the mid to low 40's like it used to be when i was swimming for many hours a day. congrats on the progress seems like you have done alot of good in a very short time.
