Finished my medical yesterday but my blood pressure was a little high, doctor said that it was because I was nervous and to go back over the next three days to have it rechecked, if it comes down then I pass everything, then I got called in the afternoon saying if I pass then the Police Department will be hiring me as early as Wed!!!!!! Come on BP go down!!!!! lol

Thanks to everyone here for the support.

You can also go to your physician and see if he will prescribe you HCTZ or some other BP medication. I began getting high BP a few years ago. I am in good shape but it runs in the family.

Hopefully he scheduled your test in the morning...and if he did, no coffee.

Good luck.

I can go back anytime in the next 3 days to have it read again, I already cut out all salts and caffeine until it goes down. Thanks for the advice and support!

You need a good dinner at Olive Garden. Actually that place is the only reason I ever go down to Poughkeepsie, lol.

Tip: Take a multivitamin in the morning, buy Flaxseed oil pills and take 3 a day, and go out to the store and look in the oatmeal aisle or the health foods section and buy anything from KASHI. I Buy this thing called 'heart 2 heart' oatmeal and its designed to bring your blood pressure down and has antioxidants and such for your heart. Very very healthy. Replace a packet of that oatmeal with one of your meals a day.. or just eat oatmeal every meal and you will be as fit as a fiddle. I've been eating this stuff since September and I feel great!

My BP is ALWAYS high when they use the automatic machine, but when taken manually its good.

[flyingdiver]

what is considered to high?

[Roger Dat]

for my physical anything under 140-90 was acceptable any higher and you needed to go back and have to checked again. Lucky for me my BP was elevated because of nerves, passed fine the second time.
