Kind of glad this post was here, my BP was running 120/70 for years, within the past 2 months it has gone up into the 140-150 over 90-ish range. No real reason that I see, no change in diet, exercise about the same, job stress about the same. I do have the hereditary factors though, both parents and grandparents had the high BP thing. Going in later this week to get it checked out.

Question: Does anyone else feel any differently with higher BP or is it just me? Kind of feels like my neck is "tighter" and more pressure in my eyes. I've also noticed I get more light-headed when I stand up quickly than I used to.
