Coasters & High blood pressure

Just wondering how many people out there have HBP and still ride coasters? I want to ride MF at CP but everytime I look at it seems like I can feel my BP going up! Yikes!!

I have "HBP," and am on medication for it once again. My doctor knows of my coaster obsession but does not warn me against riding them. I don't think coasters are as large of a factor to blood pressure as my lack of excersize and love of red meat!

The research says the proper way for you to ride is to not hold your breath or clench your teeth, but to breath in and out in medium and continuous breaths all the way through the ride. However, the research also says to avoid inversions. You can buy personal blood pressure monitors and check yourself on smaller coasters to see what the effects are, then gradually build up to megacoasters. There are people riding coasters who have had heart attacks. They're riding the Blue Streak, Beast and Raven, but not Phantom's Revenge or the other steelies.
