@ricklove Thank you. This is helpful.

@forhiskingdom Thanks for your reply. That is what I am thinking also.

@ellexshmell It is typically 85-90, sometimes 78-80, and a few times 95-98 over the past few weeks. At the doctors 3 weeks ago it was 87.

@batteredbaptist Thank you. This is helpful.

@nyamcbel Thanks. That is my assumption as well. I am trying to make sure this protocol is not the culprit.

@bradcar Thank you. This is very helpful.

@juancarlos That is a good idea. Thanks

@jleigh In the morning I take 30 minutes before I start my first round. In the evening it is 1 hour past my last round. I use an automated BP system, no stethoscope.

@jleigh Thanks for your reply. I’ve been managing my salt and trying to increase my potassium intake. I don’t smoke. I’ve been working with my doctor, but I’ve incorporated the lifestyle changes that were recommended. I would prefer to not take pharmaceuticals.

@riane87 It’s been great overall. I love it, and it keeps me engaged all day.

@cowboy90 I understood it to be 0.6 to 0.8 per kg, not per lb? I just did a search and found both per kg and per lb as recommended.

@cowboy90 Yeah, that is the minimum. I am usually around 100.

@dawn16 Thanks for your reply. I’ve stopped training for the past week and only been walking. I will see how it goes for another week and hopefully pick it back up then.

@dawn16 I’ve been testing twice a day, at the same times, for the past few weeks. Mostly I’ve been in the 85-90 range for diastolic and sometimes in the 78-80.

@tongdtbds3 Thanks, that is what I suspect as well.

@jekyll She did not diagnose me with HTN. She observed the high diastolic pressure, and suggested lifestyle changes, before prescribing meds. I inquired about the ballistic kettlebell training as well as the linked protocol, and she responded that she had not read anything relevant to the topic.

@jekyll Thanks, I have. Her response was that she was not aware of any studies on the topic.

@romane91 Unfortunately you are correct. I try to avoid pharmaceuticals as much as I can, but it may have to happen.

@romane91 I am 46.

@adrian232 Thanks for your reply, you are right. I’ve updated my post, but I sleep > 7 hours a night, restful and usually (mostly) uninterrupted. This is unchanged from the past. I fast 16 hours daily (also unchanged from the past few years). I try to get at least 70 grams of protein...
