Mu fukka gets 3 points above the normal and thinks he has HBP. Fuxk outta here.Search News Releases
When goofs like the guy I'm currently arguing with were suggesting values were "normal", when it linearly follows that base BP increase with aging, thus those in "normal" values wander into the hypertension category over time because they thought they were "normal", when in reality they were at an elevated level and are just hitting hypertension because they didn't take action when the warning was there.
If someone is at 123, and BP increases at the base level with age, and 123 is already elevated, where do you think their BP will be 10-20+ years down the line?Mu fukka gets 3 points above the normal and thinks he has HBP. Fuxk outta here.
Like I said, people can take advice from from the 103/60 guy citing respected publications, or they can take advice from someone with HBP on medication, that clearly still doesn't understand how HBP works... 
The choice should be easy.
Again with the “what ifs.”If someone is at 123, and BP increases at the base level with age, and 123 is already elevated, where do you think their BP will be 10-20+ years down the line?
Your line of thinking is why they updated the values.
edit: And that's my last response. The evidence is clear, the position should be clear to anyone browsing this thread, which is all I care about.
Subbed, great post! I take 10 MG of Amlodipine for high blood pressureReally not normal, my last BP reading was 104/59, at 123 you need to get to work. I hate "normal" standards in America because at that value you are only a few bad decisions from from hypertension. 120-129 is "elevated" per AHA standards, and you always want a Diastolic far below 80, 80 isn't ideal at all.
Understanding Blood Pressure Readings
Use our blood pressure chart to learn what your blood pressure numbers mean. Systolic, diastolic? The American Heart Association helps you understand the various levels of blood pressure and how high blood pressure or hypertension is defined. Also learn about prehypertension, hypertension...www.heart.org
You see, they even say that 120+ is elevated and you are at risk for high blood pressure and need to take steps towards corrective action. That's why I hate when people report "normal" at 120, you aren't normal, you are elevated and probably a year away from hypertension.
And on the numbers mattering:

Breakdown of the data from Esselstyn:
Now with that, consider that most black people live in the south, consider that in these areas are issues with access to health care, access to quality food, and access to the proper knowledge needed to ensure healthy living. And then consider the common dishes found in these areas, anyone of aware of southern dishes knows damn well this is primarily contributing to health issues. So when we consider these variables, it would follow that black people are predominantly represented in the HBP studies, but all of these areas can be improved.
