Please help. I am a 46yr old male triathlete. Resting heart rate is generally 52bpm. I am vegetarian and my cholesterol number is 144. However, my blood pressure is always high. Its 150/95 consistently and during the day can be 160/100. It's rarely under 140/90. My mom and sisters are all on bp meds but they are also all overweight and don't eat healthy either. My grandmother had high bp as well and died at 85yrs old. I don't take in much salt and I am starting to limit caffeine now. I don't feel unusually stressed. I get about 6 hrs sleep per night. I have a desk job. I'm very reluctant to get on bp meds. I am on no medication of any kind other than ibuprofen every other day for soreness.
