I have also heard that cranberry juice is good. Hope you find your concoction 

Thank you, Iiv. I do too. I'm disappointed. I may just have to go back on medication. I tried so hard to avoid it, but ... (dare I say) ... it is what it is. 

Is there a lot of salt in the V8? 

128/78 is good. 

What was lower range that you’re used to? 

V-8 has a lot of sodium. Low sodium V-8 has plenty.  

Blood pressure fluctuates constantly throughout the day; and, may read higher in the morning than the afternoon. Keeping a log and averaging your readings will give you the most accurrate numbers. Also, avoid doing multiple readings over short period of time, because the act of taking your blood pressure reading tends to elevate it.  

I certainly agree with the other comments. Does change throughout the day. Yours is still good.  

On ur BP 150 is the dividing line 

Maybe needs a new batt like ur scale...🙆 

Meh. If your BP monitor keeps a log, send it to your doc for an actual medical opinion. Especially since it’s bugging you. I’d take that as more of a hint than anything else. It’s worrying you. Just ask. 

Is this the value you are so concerned about? What does it “normally” run? Did your doctor put you on meds for a value similar to this? This particular reading is in a normal range.  

I think you got some good advice here, Lonnie.  

If this is high must usually have low blood pressure? I’m a nurse & these are #s I like to see. Check with md before using meds again please. Doin great!🍀 

Wish mine was that number. I’m on three pills a day and am so ready to shake the weight and get off of them 

This is good?? I thought I was supposed to be 120/80 or less!  

The doctor put me on meds back when I was obese. My pressure was 190/100 back then. After losing weight my pressure was around 110/75. Recently it's been as high as 145/82, so I became concerned. Lately, sometimes it's normal (120/80 or better) and sometimes it's a little higher, but usually not above 130/80. You think this is okay? 

It was a low sodium V8 that I had. 

You know what Lonnie, that’s not bad. I think also taking a pill now and then isn’t that good. Your blood pressure looks good to me. Yeah, if it’s bugging you and you know your body better than anyone else I think maybe doing the horrible task of checking with the doctor will ease your mind. Don’t let worry consume you. 

Numbers look good to me as well, lonz...can u attribute the spike to a singular emotional or physical event?
