OK bp is high cant do cardio

[mattzq8sonoma]

I'd be looking at lowering salt intake, good hydration drinking plenty of water, cutting out as much caffeine and nicotine as you can...lower one or both, or cut one out completely...and do whatever kind of daily exercise you can do. If nothing else, just a 20 minute walk every day. The exercise will strengthen your heart and lungs and help you to lose some weight and the lower weight will make it easier on your hip. IDK how much you weigh, but even 10 lbs for a guy is pretty easy to drop and will make a load of a difference on the everyday stress on your hip.

Sorry to hear it, that sucks......I'm not sure you should put much credence in what any one here tells you though. Your on it with your lifestyle changes, here's one of a bazillion articles on the subject....good luck.

Me has high blood pressure again and i donno what to do, I dont drink though im pretty sedentary now, Got a dodgy hip that doesnt like cycling is now a no go. I do yoga(bring it on) and started do qigong with the help of dvds. I would prefer not to have to give up anything but my bp is nearly 150/90 quite often. Should I cut out caffeine or go down to mini's? or quit totatally though ill probably get hooked on nrt.

I also eat loads of fruit and eat and have gone vegetarian. Although i can do with loosing a bit of weight but im still mostly muscle honest . Are potassium supplements any use do you think?

I would say its probably mostly stress related hence the yoga, meditation qigong etc... but idk.

Another option would be to throw away this damn bp monitor... My dad is in his 80s and still going strong, he has had hpb all his life. oh and i dont often snack on sugar.
