What elevates blood pressure? Several months ago, I had a whole glass of wine. Then next morning, I felt uncomfortable, and checked my BP, and it was way high. A nurse-friend suggested the glass of wine was the problem. I have a history of heavy drinking. Will not have more than a sip or so to taste, from now on.
So, I have been sleuthing with the home bp monitor. Full-caffeine coffee is a trigger, went to half-caf, and much better. Decaf tea and coffee for afternoon and evening.
At 3mg, my vape is not a problem, although I seem to be cutting back from 15 ml a day.
Salt is supposed to be a problem, but I don't like highly salted foods, anyway.
Dehydration is supposed to be a problem, so I am working on it.
Stress is a problem, so I am working on some meditation strategies.
So what else?
