I think 140/90 is still a good number no matter what the doctors tell you.

Interesting comments, PinkString. I have heard that before. It actually does make sense. I know anybody in the medical profession will deny it does, though.
Like I say, I'm not on meds right now for hypertension and am trying to stay off of them precisely for that point ...being hooked for life.
However, my doc keeps telling me that the lower the better (without being to the point of being dangerously low). The lower it is, the less risk. I don't know, that makes sense too.
Thanks.
