Question What is your Holy Grail?
You know, that reading that would make you for joy. Whether it is a medicated or un-medicated reading, post it up

For me it is an unmedicated 120/80. I get to about 125/79 or something ever so similar but, I've not managed 120/80 once in the week I've had the BP machine. 120/80 is my Holy Grail.. what's yours?

Re: What is your Holy Grail?
Oh, I'll jump for joy with a steady unmedicated 130/85 or below.

As far as MEDICATED goes, NOTHING would make me jump for joy and if I get it low enough with drugs jumping is entirely IMPOSSIBLE.
Medicating it down is a bummer in my book, often necessary but still a MAJOR BUMMER.

I am working as hard as possible to achieve the "jump for joy level."

Re: What is your Holy Grail?
I would jump for joy to go back 4 yrs. to my NON medicated 130/75 or below. Most days now it is 118-130/75-82 on meds, but I hate meds. Oh well, I guess things could be worse. Good luck to all...

Oh yeah, I really would jump for joy to go back to age 35 too. ROTFL

Happy Halloween Folks... Don't forget to turn those old clocks back tonight.

Re: What is your Holy Grail?
I like less than or equal to 115/75. Many times I get 120ish/65ish and I just don't like it that high ;p
