How Long to Lower Bp By Lifestyle..should I Go to the Dr's Posted: 10-26-06 03:49am


I have had various high ish reading over a number of years but after monitoring and getting over the shock I get readings in the region of 135/85. I dont wish to go to the doctors just yet as I would like to try a few things like excercise, reduced alcohol and no caffiene. How long after changing my lifestyle should I see a drop in my blood pressure. My pressure this morning after walking up stairs and having had a hot shower was 155/101. Should I be worried. Does a few weeks of elevated pressure make a difference while I am changing my habbits?
