I dealt with something similar, struggled for years wondering why no dietary intervention would touch my systolic which would sit around 125-130 over 60.
As hard as it was I finally ditched caffeine which instantly dropped my systolic down to the 110-115 range. Also feel much better overall. I wasn't even consuming an egregious amount either, always limiting myself to a max of 400mg, typically in the range of 250mg a day.
- voisin 3y agoAnother commenter mentioned caffeine. I have been taking my BP measurements in the morning before having a coffee, but perhaps I am a slow metabolizer and the effects linger for a few days. I am going to listen to you and the other commenter and try ditching caffeine to see what impact this has on my BP over several days. We’ll see! Thanks!
