My BP has been pretty good lately...usually 117/63... well I just took it last night and it was 130/66 and I'm wondering if my diet change or the supplements I take have somehow affected it.

I'm going the natural route to lower my cholesterol and also walk/run at least 4 miles each day. I also have recently added weight lifting. My diet is almost vegetarian except I do eat salmon 3 times a week.

I use Cholest-off, Benecol, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and a Calcium supplement. Almost no salt too.

Maybe its just the stress from trying to stick to the blasted diet!

I wouldn't worry about it. Blood pressure readings often fluctuate somewhat anyway. In fact, I wish I had your readings. But since I live in New Jersey, that can be tough for me to achieve by natural means.

Arizona I hear you... I live right outside of D.C... I call the whole area the land of maniacs. New Jersey is right up there with us too! :)

Yes, there's certainly enough noise, traffic, and congestion to keep anyone on edge around here. Add to that some very peculiar looking people I cross paths with on almost a daily basis. Why, just today I saw some guy getting into a car just a couple of blocks from where I live who looked a lot like Osama bin Laden. As a matter of fact, I believe that a few of those terrorists who hijacked those planes on September 11th were living right here in New Jersey. If I recall correctly, they weren't too far from where Zip2play lives. But, in any case, it seems that no matter what happens that's bad, there always seems to be a New Jersey connection. :eek:
