I think its more than the poster who needs to ask that as not even the medical world understand BP.
Doctors love to measure something and stick you on lifelong damaging pills
If its any consolation Astronauts hit figures of 220 / 120 on takeoff
I had a nasty stroke five years ago, the 'culprit' according to the docs was blood pressure. I am more inclined to believe that it was caused by stress, as was my raised bp.
What is stress? That's a very interesting question.
For me, I can relate to an animal pacing back & forth in a cage, that is how I felt for many years. If anyone feels the same way, I recommend that you get 'out' no matter what. He stupid thing is that I was caged by my own mind, while all the time having a key.
This leads to another more interesting question. Can we get 'out' while remaining in the cage?
