Cardiologists say afternoon stress and fatigue can set the stage for blood pressure spikes.To keep afternoon blood pressure in check, they recommend movement and deep breathing.Eating a low-sodium snack and trading coffee for herbal tea may also lower blood pressure. Nearly half of U.S. adults are living with high blood pressure, defined as readings above 130/80 mm Hg. This raises their risk for conditions like heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
