I will echo what John Rodgers above says. When I was 60 I had readings of 140 over 95. I had an ambulatory blood pressure machine attached to my arm for a couple of days. It verified high bp. I declined bp meds initially to see if I could get the bp down by exercise. Still no change after two weeks so I have been on bp meds for eleven years.

Similarly with cholesterol meds. Have been on that for a year. Am not willing to risk a heart attack or stroke by foregoing meds. You do what you gotta do.

I am not a med specialist but would recommend seeing your doc and do what he/she suggests.
