Oh wow...that is high. Your Dr will surely put you on some meds for that and monitor you. Might be a good idea to get your own blood pressure monitor and start checking it everyday but a change in diet wouldn't hurt either. Cut out salt one one thing...it retains water for one thing and there is enough salt in processed foods to choke a horse. I stopped using salt a long time ago and within the first month I lost 10 pounds. Anyway, oyu've got a lot of living left to do and your kids are counting on you so make the changes.
