Bikerchickett - take a squizz at this site, it should answer your questions.

High BP carries a risk of stroke, heart attack and other vascular problems which could leave you as a virtual invalid - taking meds isn't a sign of weakness ( VON! ) but a wake-up call to look at changing those things in your power to change to reduce the risk.

Thanks for that

I have bookmarked to have a read later.

I'm another one, I have to have it tested every year as I have a family history and mine is fairly high at 4.8, I try to keep it down with diet but diet is only a part of the problem it is also hereditory (sp).

Wimps.

Eat apples, drink brandy, smoke fags and take drugs.

You'll die young, but you'll have lived well.
