Exercise and diet don’t help mine one bit. I’m very active, exercise regularly and eat mostly protein and vegetables. I’ve been on BP meds and heart arrhythmia meds since I was 22. I’m turning 40 in two months. Diet and exercise don’t help when it’s genetic. Mine runs 160/90 without meds. On meds it’s 130/70
I'm exactly where you are, even to the age almost. Just 1 year younger. Nothing helped me except meds. I even drank nothing but water for 8 months, zero caffeine.
