Cool oh well

I think that when the "powers that be" keep lowering the bar, they make us all the more certain that this is all about money, eg for years it was 120/80 normal, now i hear its 115/75??? i`m retired now(67) and since age 45 have struggled with my weight (5.10 and 240/250 lbs) have been on 20 mgs lisinopril since age 40, BP approx 125--145/55--70 over the years, after i retired i developed "prax atrial fib" the docs put me on metroprolol, which slows the heartrate, and has brought the BP down slightly,--bottom line is as you get older it seems normal that your BP should increase a little bit.
