I was borderline. Higher bp increases your risk of stroke. I figured the headaches were a warning.. I could be wrong about that though.. I take a very low dose ace inhibitor and it works great. Doc said it wasn't a permanent thing necessarily.. I could probably go off of it if I was more consistent with the DASH diet and exercise more and drop 15-20 pounds.

Keto diet supposedly helps drop the bp too but diets are really hard to maintain and stick with.
