Weird High blood pressure problem

[Doc Holiday]

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.

When you say "I was feeling funny" what do you mean? What was your BP when it was high?

Tell me about your diet. Don't hold back.

high protein low carb, I probably stay on it for 80-90% of the time, and the occasional drink ever so often.

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

[Mrs Pantherfan]

Had you had the caffeine on an empty stomach?

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.

Do you eat fat free stuff? When you eat salad what kind of dressing? Ever eat any butter? Trust me on my questions.

[pstall]

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 try to limit extra but I don't try to avoid it if that makes sense about 2/3 of the time dressing is far free, been trying to avoid butter

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
