Weird High blood pressure problem

Ok, so I've never had high blood pressure issues before, but about 3 weeks ago I was feeling funny and decided to check my blood pressure, it was high, and I've been checking it since, at times it's high other times it's normal.

 

I think I've figured out that caffeine is playing some roll, but it hasn't ever been a issue before. And before you say you need to eat right and exercise, I've been doing just that since april and have already lost 20 pounds so far by dropping from 215 to 195, I'm 6'1" btw for size ref. and have continued to eat right and exersize, why would it pop up all of a sudden.

 

Now I have been working swing since august last year and I've been drinking more caffeine then ever but I cant believe its just a caffeine issue.

Gotta give me more details. The carb/protein ratio is not enough man.

been eating a lot of salads and sometimes just straight protein, like boiled eggs and chicken.

For example today I had a salad for breakfast/lunch @11ish and a veggie thin crust pizza for dinner at 8ish. I don't normally eat breakfast but when I do it's usually a banana and a granola bar. Used to be with a cup of coffee but with how I've been reacting to caffeine lately probably no more coffee. But don't know if there is something else other then caffien causing this.

And saying you dont eat breakfast is good to know. You should as that can help stabilize blood sugar and blood pressure. Sometimes WHEN we ear is just as important as what.

Im trying to drill down on if you are getting good fats in your diet. Those can help LDLs as well as lipids.

How high are we talking? And how big of a gap between systolic and diastolic?

i was 140/100 earlier today about an hour after drinking coffee, at 730pm I was 135/85 last check at 9pm I was 126/77 I can still feel caffeine in my system now and think I'm still a little high.

Last Sunday I rode my bike 30 miles rested for an hour after getting back and my BP was 119/70 didn't drink coffee that day

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
