BP & cycling?
Just wondering if anyone has any insight into this. My BP has always been near 120/80, maybe a bit higher on occasion. And, when I was in the hospital in July it was actually a bit lower than 120/60. But, in the past month or so it has consistently been around 137/93. I have to find a new PCP (mine moved out of the area last week) and when I do BP will be the first order of business. I realized that since I got back into cycling about 10 yrs. ago my BP has gone up not down. Is that because of aging? Why wouldn't riding 100 mi a week do just the opposite? How bad is 137/93? FWIW I feel great and have lost 12 lbs since July. But, I am told high BP has no obvious symptoms.
