My Bp Is Very High In the Morning. Is This Normal?
Posted: 02-08-07 06:38am

I am 65 years old female.

I am checking my bp every day and my bp is very high in the morning when I woke up.

Is it normal for people to have bp of almost 200 in the morning?

This morning my bp was 180 at 5:00 but hour later, went down to 135.

I think I am doing everything to lower my bp.

I keep eating apples, grapefruit, celery, bananas, garlic, and reducing my intake of salt.

I also taking one tea spoonful organic apple cider vinegar, hibiscus flower tablet.

I go swimming pool almost every day and do excercise for about 2 hours.

My problem is I also have shortness of breath and when I tread water, I start feeling like my air way is going to close up and tightning.

I am spending many hours doing research on high blood pressure but I still cannot find answer to my problem.

One thing is sure.

I don't want to take medication knowing harmful side effect plus if I start taking medication, I must keep taking for life.
