New Blood Pressure Rules: No More Booze?
Major update alert: Experts just dropped new blood pressure guidelines, and the big shocker? They now say cutting out alcohol completely is the gold standard for heart health (not just limiting it). Plus, doctors are being told to treat high BP sooner, even with meds. Add in less salt, more veggies, and you could seriously lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, and even dementia. Time to rethink that happy hour? #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure

I know alcohol (even just a shot or two) raises not only my blood pressure, but my heart rate as well. sad thing is, my doctors were happy to keep me on meds instead of letting me know all I had to do, was not drink. they made a shit ton of money off me over the years.

It used to be healthy blood pressure was 110 plus your age. But the greedy medical folks need us stressed out or dead. Look back to what used to be normal and go with that. Greed has taken over everything.

I eat very well exercise daily and proper weight. when my bp is high the only thing I contribute it to is alcohol consumption. if I cut it out in a few days bp goes close to good range. start again and it goes up..

as a paramedic for 30 years , it used to be 100 plus your age for systolic . i have watched them change the numbers amd they keep lowering the threshold . Same applies for Blood sugar . it’s greed ! if they can diagnose you , they are free to order more testing as they see fit . more testing is more money in doctors x pockets
