After a couple weeks of BP mostly humming along in the roughly 120/80 range I accidentally made coffee one morning instead of decaf, and BP was 160/90 that day! Next morning, after the caffeine had 24 hours to clear my system, I was back to 125/77.

I’ve been fighting the BP thing for a while and I think some of the other things that have helped are Hibiscus (either capsule or as tea), Magnesium, and 15 minutes daily of slow, deep breathing exercises.
