Hypertension runs through my family like an epidemic. My brother's almost 4 years younger, started meds ages ago. For whatever genetic lottery win, I was spared. I only came up to average 120/70 last year at 50. So I started ahead in that game.
Anyway. Have this little home blood pressure widget of my mom's. Her old one. I scavenge parts and pieces from just about anything as I like to tinker with "widgets" in my spare time (if I can find any time that's spare anymore!). Saw it on a shelf and ran it a few times on myself. I know it's not terribly accurate (hence, it's the "old" one) but it was consistent over several reads at about 100/65. It's only got to be "in the ballpark" to mean I've "reset" my blood pressure and resting heart rate back to my 20s and I'm still less than two weeks in with vaping.
Also, apparently it's true it's the mean old men that live forever.
