I'd hope it would be 'fine' since you're taking BP medication.

Sounds like you are doing good.

Good on you for looking after your blood-pressure. Too high or too low causes big problems--

My mother was still upset at me.

You are an adult. Just understand mom's mean well but you are still an adult now.

@tree That apparently only the medicine is keeping my blood pressure low.

Well, that's why people take medicine! I wish she'd get her act together, and leave you alone to get your act the rest of the way together. Glad the meds work for you though.

I know someone who is prone to high blood pressure. Your mom has no right to chastise you about this. This is something you work thru with your medical provider.

You need assert your boundaries, and call your mother out. Mom, l don't need you criticizing my blood pressure stats. This is something l am taking care of myself.

When you start first asserting yourself, you mom will recoil, don't give in. Tell her you appreciate her respecting your boundaries, as it will lead to a healthier relationship.

@Aspychata I did tell her off about the dragon necklace. I told her I don’t tell anyone what to wear and she actually apologized for judging me.

The most generous reading of your mother's remarks about your blood pressure would be to
think that she's expressing concern about your health. She's some sort of physician, isn't she?
In addition to being your mother. @Markness
