Sounds like me, except I do soda and tea. My BP is about in your range.

Years ago, while waiting for surgery, the doctor asked how I was doing. As usual, it was about 7am and I had been fasting (no coffee or cigarettes) since the night before. They’ve changed the way they measure blood pressure since then, so I can’t remember the exact number, but my blood pressure was barely registering.

I told the doctor what it was and his eyes got really large and said, “maybe you should smoke a cigarette!”

I 1/2 way thought he was serious. Of course, they can adjust blood pressure up while in surgery much easier than they can lower it. So all was well.
