I recently went to the doc for pneimonia and when they took my pressure it was 240 over 130 that is drop dead in your tracks stroke pressure but I had no symptoms. The doc said normally he would send me straight to the ER but just put me on a med.He thought I would be on 3 or 4 meds for my BP. Now here is why I am telling you this, just by cutting out caffine (completely), losing 25 lbs., and no more salty foods (including Chineese that I used to have for lunch 3 days a week)I managed to lower it to 130 over 80. Doc said that is high normal.So my advice would be to look at your diet and see if you can fix anything there, it makes a huge difference.
