Within just a few weeks I am really feeling the benefit but I have noticed that my blood pressure seems to be raised from my normal 120/80 to 140/90 with readings taken usually 6 hours after exercise. I am not taking any medication or suffering any illness. Could this be my body adapting to exercise or do I need to see a doctor? Hi

I am not taking any medication or suffering any illness. Could this be my body adapting to exercise or do I need to see a doctor?

The one thing I did was drink lots of water - 4 litres a day minimum. At the same time, some chronic back problems I was having cure itself. I put it down to the weight loss, healthier eating and the water. No, I wasnt taking medication. The one thing I did was drink lots of water – 4 litres a day minimum.

Were you taking medications as well? I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension after my pregnancy. I actually had pre-eclampsia but my blood pressure never went down to normal so the doctor is giving me medications to control my blood pressure. I was fit and within normal BMI before my pregnancy but I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy. Now, 2 months postpartum, I am trying to lose weight and eat healthy. With this, plus medication, my blood pressure is within 120/80 but from time to time it spikes up to 140/90. How long after you changed your lifestyle before you noticed the improvement on your blood pressure? Wow! Were you taking medications as well?

I am amazed at the changes I have seen. My blood pressure was similar to yours, but after following a healthier lifestyle for over a year now, it iswell below the 120/90 target. Exercise, lots of fresh water, and a healthy diet fixed a lot of my problems. Hi Chris

I've smoked about 10 ciggarettes a day on average for about 7 years, haven't been doing any major exercise except walking and my diet is not as good as it should be. I didn't think that 1 year of healthy living would have such a drastic effect on BP but your report shows that it does, I'm going to give it a go! Thanks you! chris Hi,
