I have been measuring my blood pressure twice a day for 2 months already. Around 4 times a month my bottom number will go up to 80+ up to 85. 

Based on this is hypertension

Most days the number is in 70+ region.



A few times I go to polyclinic the number is 70+.
The doctor said no need treatment.

But I think not so simple when the BP go up it can damage my other organs. I really don't want to wait until organ damaged then try to do something. It will be too late.

It's not the lower, the better.

Too low can mean weak heart. 

Not a good sign also.

I think we forget to keep hydrated. When blood is thick, heart need to work harder to pump, increasing bp

About exercising, i like to share a couple of simple tips:

The max heart rate = 220 - Age

A 50yr old max HR should be kept around 170 when doing strenuous exercise so as not to overdo it

Aim to achieve HR between 130 to 150 for at least 30mins a day either in one session or multiple combined smaller sessions

Ah butt sibei kiasi. This kind of number also said high.

Like I said I kena 80+ a few times when i measure it is not always 70+

Blood pressure 80/120 (+/-5) is normal. It will change accordingly as one ages. Lacking of sleep will also shot up one blood pressure. There is this vege called "kor cao aka bitter grass" or curry leaves, clean liao then boil it with water, drink the water only. After 2 weeks see got any improvements or not.

[WhatDoYouThink?]

kor cao, bitter grass, 苦草
bitter tea, 苦茶

both are extremely bitter. one is bitter than another. just blend a few with water. the bitterness will stay in mouth for half a day

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

maybe eat too much oily foods like duck you yesterday just eat.

[singlon]

My goodness
this kind of altitude will lead to disaster
no need medicine find doctor

[Cmpunk]

Unless 155 and 99 need medicine

[luncheonmeat]

Think most bros here giving sensible advice. Cut down on rich, oily, salty foods and take bitter herbs etc. Most importantly check your cholesterol [ldl] levels. Most people's blood pressure tend to be on the higher side. Diet and exercise can make a difference.

Go for an ultrasound of your heart, I suspect you have diastolic malfunction of the heart at rest

You have 6 more months to live, make the best out of the rest

220 is correct.
