I’ve had hypertension for 30 plus years take two different medications for it and I still run high numbers. Lost weight, exercised religiously for years and my numbers have always stayed pretty close to the same. Everything else health wise is right where it should be. One of my previous doctors that worked with me for about 10 years (had every test imaginable and was sent to cardiovascular, cardiologist and who knows) they gave up and said it was genetic and that’s been now about 8 years ago. I guess the good news is my numbers are still where they have been for the last 30 plus years and for me that’s good.
