That is not unusual. Many people have wide swings in blood pressure. There is no scientifically credible evidence linking elevated systolic pressures to anything.

That is not unusual. Many people have wide swings in blood pressure. There is no scientifically credible evidence linking elevated systolic pressures to anything.
