Jay,
I'll second Dave recommendation. The DASH diet is very effective in
lowering BP. The key is sufficient calcium, magnesium and potassium
intake. And limit the sodium!
I also have some issues with BP. Mine is only high in the Dr. office.
At home it's around 130/75. I'm considering taking some flight lessons,
if I can scare up the $$$. I've been advised to get the medical out of
the way before the lessons. Wouldn't want to get held up in the event I
can't show a decent BP reading at the MD's office.
Cheers,
Mike
