been on B/p meds since I was 38 and since I hit over 50 my standards seems to run prehypertensive (132/65), 136/70. my resting pulse/heart rate is around 54 don't worry about it much anymore.
I Use as little salt as possible and I know that is hard with cycling but I never salt my food and stay with a pretty bland diet of salads,fish,chicken,turkey,. At least once a month I will have pizza , hamburgers , lasanga,and maybe a mtn dew or coke once every two-3 days.
usually it takes more than one kind of med. to get it regulated or within the scope they want.
