Hooray!

I have hypertension!

Wait...

How is that possible? I eat nothing but meat and cheese and eggs and coffee. I weigh a svelte (and solidly packed) 128 kgs. My weight, height, age, and collar measurement are exactly the same as Jackie Gleason in the first season as The Honeymooners!

Um...

So, there you are. Pyat has entered early middle age.

Thank you, sir! I shall keep an eye out for it.

It also helps to avoid things that have extra salt. Things that come in cans (like soup, gravy, sauces and even pop) aren't good, and things dry and crisp in a bag. Restaurant food and fast food are also no-nos as a rule because of their high sodium content. Even some breakfast cereals are suspect, so you gotta read the packaging.

Regular exercise 45 minutes a day can lower your BP about 9 mmHg for 9 hours, and you can split it into 2 or three different parts.

My final suggestion is to invest in an BP home monitoring cuff and track your BP over time. Don't get the cheapest and don't get the most expensive one. And don't get one of those wrist monitor jobbies either.
