I am a 45 year old woman. I discovered I had high BP when I had to go to hospital for heavy bleeding. It read 230/180 which was a surprise to me, actually I was very afraid. Doctor prescribed losartan 50mg at first then 100mg. Ally bloods came back normal.It has come down to a better reading of 140/100.
I have changed to diet to DASH. I walk 30 aday and changed some stressful situation in my life. I also drink hibiscus tea 2 cups a day. My reading now is 110/85. I am on this journey along side my blood pressure to stop it elevating. My goal is to reduced losarton to 50mg.I do need to lose weight. I believe I am premeniposal and have hormonal imbalance. Inflammation in the body can cause high BP. What I eat affects my blood pressure massively.
