    Stage 1 hypertension

    Got my blood pressure checked today at cvs, says I have stage 1 hypertension. Systolic was 140, 140-190 said it was Stage 1 hypertension. Diastolic was normal.

    I'm currently on a cycle of 50mg tbol ed, and 120mg prop eod.

    I take potassium, garlic, and cq10 for blood pressure.

    Do I need to be worried at all, or will my blood pressure subside once I drop the oral? I have about 3 weeks left on it.

    my personal doc uses the one at our gym and he says he swares by it. He says he has done it on that machine and then taken it personally and it was very accurate. I know it depends on the machine and calibration/maint. it has had....age of machine, etc....but in general it is just like a scale...generally accurate if calibrated correctly.

    You will know if your BP on the machine is 140 now....and measure on the same machine weekly...if you don't see a drop....go check it at your doc's office. good luck.....it scared the hell outta me when i saw 139....i was like WOW .....too early for the grave....lol....
