It's possible it could be medication. How is your diet? I eat moderately well but mine has spiked a little since I stopped eating oatmeal every morning for breakfast. (All those little ads about oatmeal and healthy cereals are true!)

I also have high blood pressure, I have reduce my salt intake. No chips, or processed foods, try to eat food that you cook at home. Garlic also helps in reducing BP.
I too recently have started keeping an eye on my sodium. I thought I wasn't getting hardly any, since I never use a salt shaker, however I was having 3000-4000mg a day or more. It has been very shocking for me, I had no idea.
I believe it to be the reason I'm on blood pressure meds.
I also have low cholesterol, but without the blood pressure meds my BP was always 140/90ish and has been since I was 16.
I'm hoping after a couple of months on low sodium (I'm aiming for under 2000mg a day or less) that I can stop the blood pressure pills.

I too have a problem with HBP. Certain medications can cause high blood pressure - I know taking over the counter cold medication can increase it. Also, stay away from foods that are processed - most of them have really high sodium. Exercise helps ower blood pressure, and I recently read that lemons and garlic were supposed to help lower it as well.
