30 million Americans who woke perfectly healthy yesterday morning are now suddenly in need of expensive hypertension treatments after the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology decided to lower the definition of "high blood pressure" to 130/80 from the previous trigger of 140/90. According to Reuters, the change means that nearly 50% of American adults, or roughly 100 million people, now suffer from high blood pressure.
Americans with blood pressure of 130/80 or higher should be treated, down from the previous trigger of 140/90, according to new guidelines announced on Monday by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.
They did the same thing to Truckers a few years ago. I took a physical and I had high bloodpressure...I didn't used to and it was the SAME. They changed the rules. I had to take blood pressure medicine or I'd loose my job. The stuff isn't Cheap either and there are side effects.

Like DEATH. I had an allergic reaction to one of them. I swole up like a toad. Damn near died from not being able to breathe. I was carried to the hospital by an ambulance...the doctor said I was 'lucky'.
I wonder if the War on Drugs is engaging the wrong enemy?
