I m a 48 year old male, athletic (6 2 205lbs, 10%bf) BUT my BP is high - just checked it at 153/98. I lift heavy weights-have my whole life and I know that could add the the problem but it s such a lifestyle I d hate to give it up. High BP runs in my family - 78 yr old dad has been on medication for years, although he was never an exercise person.I own a business and have my share of stresses. I m kind of worried as I get older. I try to relax and have a positive outlook, and eat well, but just can t seem to get the BP down.
