Hi I usually post on couchto5k but as I have high blood pressure be good to look here now and again. After years of having normal to low blood pressure I put on weight after getting a desk job, stopping playing football etc. Im 52 18.5 stone and 6 foot now take candesarten 8mg. My bp is usually 140/80 but since going vegetarian 7 months ago and doing the running program it’s around 133/67. I’m hoping to get healthy enough to lower to dose or stop taking tablets completely. Cheers Warren
