The last 10 years my BP went from being normal to sky high. Ive always delt with stress very well. I never let it bother me and didnt focus on stress but my last marriage I think was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. The last few years its been without medication around 150/95 and even up to 175/105 but I always felt fine. Ill be honest and have not checked it for a couple of months but since I started taking BP medicine its been pretty normal again.
