They've been hedging back for a few years now. Used to be anything under 140/90 was acceptable without meds. Then they lowered both numbers so that anything over 140 or 80 was bad. Used to be 120/70 was ideal, but now 120/80 is bad?
My doc says don't worry unless I'm regularly seeing numbers above 140 or 80. Either one by itself is a cause to review my current prescription. So far, I've been in the 120/70's range, so no cause for alarm.
Now if they could just decide whether coffee is good or bad...
