i was reading an old news clipping from 1984 about the release of Walter Mondale's medical records, and his blood pressure was like 150/90, and they didn't even make note of it. he was already 60 by then. |

You're freaking out about 120s/70s BP? Calm the fuck down. These are numbers that MOST healthy (read: non-hypertensive) people run on a daily basis. Your BP is most likely fine and it's only if you run over 140/90 for a *sustained* period of time that you have real problems. Not all doctors are in agreement that 130/80 bps are even 'high', never mind 'treatable'.
Meanwhile, if you're still convinced you need to lower it -
1) Lose weight (how much do you weigh, anyway?) 2) Exercise 3) Eat a diet with less sodium and more potassium (i.e., the "DISH" diet) |

and whats worse i am not fat. i do exercise. maybe not much lately. but i am in the top10% in my med school class in terms of vo2max or bodyfat%. and i am close to this "dash" diet. i cannot drink any alcohol any more. |

I agree that some doctors aren't especially fit, but a lot of the ones where I go are. Curious why you're studying to be one of those 'stupid fat fucks' yourself. |

I agree that the younger diabetics and glomerulonephritis type pts would probably redamage any new kidney so quickly that it wouldn't be worth it... |

Aerobic exercise is recommended as way to prevent hypertension. However, about 25% of the individuals receive minimal anti-hypertensive benefits associated with chronic exercise training. Thus, we attempt to identify those "non-responders" to chronic exercise based on their blood pressure (BP) responses to acute exercise (single-session). Our primary objective is to correlate the magnitude of BP decrease following acute exercise to the magnitude of BP reduction after chronic exercise. Our secondary objective was to examine the correlates of BP reduction after acute and chronic exercise.
METHODS:
17 prehypertensive (120 to 139/80 to 89mmHg) males and females (45-60 years old) underwent acute exercise assessments before an 8-week walking/jogging program (4 times per week, 30 minutes per session, 65% maximum oxygen consumption). Blood pressure, hemodynamics, heart rate variability (HRV), and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were assessed before and after acute exercise and chronic training.
RESULTS:
BP was significantly reduced -7.2±1.2/-4.2±1.0 mmHg and -7.0±1.4/-5.2±1.2 mmHg relative to baseline following acute (30 minutes at 65% maximum oxygen consumption) and chronic exercise, respectively (p<0.01). The magnitude of change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) after acute exercise was strongly correlated with change in resting SBP following chronic training, r=0.89, p<0.01. A similar correlation was observed with diastolic BP, r=0.75, p<0.01. After acute exercise, significant reductions in Total Power (ms) and BRS were observed in both sexes (p<0.01). However, following chronic exercise, only men demonstrated a significant reduction in the low frequency to high frequency ratio (-36%), p<0.01.
CONCLUSION:
The magnitude of the acute BP lowering effect exercise may predict the extent of BP lowering following chronic training interventions in pre-hypertensives.
