High Blood Pressure

Who wants to believe that at my age, it is already rearing its ugly head? It had been in my mind that if I just lost the weight, it would go away. But I can't deny the genetic component and can't wait for the pounds to drop off before I take action. I guess it took a visit to the doctor today for me to wrap my brain around the idea that it is a disease. It very likely will not be lowered enough with losing the pounds.
So my instructions are to take 8 readings over the next two months and see what the results are. If it is not miraculously lowered significantly, back to the doctor I go to try out some meds. Sigh.
