As for walking--when I don't get my three miles in, I feel a little draggy--go figure.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017592585596334313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17155711.post-85415923368560330392017-07-07T11:35:24.199-06:002017-07-07T11:35:24.199-06:00Rosemary,

How soon after you walked was your B/P taken? No need to answer...just that it makes a difference when pressure is measured.<br /><br />More than likely the 93/64 is fine for you. However, you might want to keep track of it yourself so you can show your primary what's going on. So, I suggest you purchase a good B/P cuff, and check it yourself a few times a week at different times of the day. <br /><br />I would not rely on drug store machines.....you don't know how often, or if they are calibrated for accuracy. <br /><br />Great that you are committed to walking. I wish I had your motivation. It's probably the best thing one can do for cardiovascular health...plus it keeps our other body systems functioning as well. Kudos to you.iloveachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719125946373471080noreply@blogger.com
