Yesterday I was planning on giving blood again. Got there, took my blood pressure,186/98. Never been higher than 140/88. The cutoff for donating is 180 so I'll have to do it another time.
I will not be taking any blood pressure medications. If I need to I'll use beet juice and watermelon juice to lower it. DO NOT follow my ideas, you can ask your doctor but I'll guarantee they will know nothing about more natural ways to reduce blood pressure.
Be careful. Before my stroke, I was healthy except for high blood pressure. I refused to take medication to lower it, being determined to bring it down by diet and exercise. And it was coming down, but before it got to a safe level, a small blood vessel in my brain began to leak. Luckily, it stopped before too much damage was done. Good luck with it.
