I was 50lbs overweight and had high blood pressure (140/90-odd). Now I'm at
goal it's gone down to 130/80 - nice and normal. You might be surprised at
what losing that next 60lbs will do (just some more motivation for you)
Fish oil can't hurt, and have many positive side effects. Give them a try
in the mean time - what have you got to lose?

I'm looking for some experiences of raised blood pressure and the impact
that fish oils can have.

I saw my doctor today and he checked my BP again as it was a bit on the
high
side last month. He suggested I take a fish oil supplement as the omega 3
oils can help.

My BP is around 150/90 and he wants it under 145/80 if possible.

I don't smoke (never have), I don't drink much - maybe one or two units a
week, I eat a low-fat diet with plenty of fruits and veggies take
reasonably
regular exercise and I thought that losing about 70lb in the last couple
of
years would have helped, even though I'm still around 60lb overweight.

He did say that it may be one of those things that will be there whatever
and will need medication as I have a family history of raised blood
pressure.
