I'm not sure if I actually have HBP, but I may have pre-HBP. I think that's what it's called.
Anyway, my blood pressure is always high at the drs office.
I had an appointment today, and to no surprise it was high.

I have a cuff at home and was told to just check it at home as I always have been.

It bounces around a lot, which is normal.
But today it has stayed consistently on the high side and was even higher when I got home.

I eat pretty healthy. and Workout by lifting 3x week and cardio 2x week.

So I'm surprised.
Anyone else have this?

My dad suffered from HBP, but... it's hard for me to say this ... he was an alcoholic. He was a good guy though and I loved him dearly.
So since he had it maybe I can too?
(I don't drink much )

I just thought that with all my working out for a few years that this wouldn't be an issue.

thoughts?
