An important thing to remember when looking into high blood pressure issues, make sure your kidneys are looked into as well...

I take Alteneolol and a beta blocker. If I could drop the 70 extra pounds I am carrying I would not need it. HMMM..Maybe I found the weight you lost Chuck.

By the way glad to see you are in good health now. It does take determination and willpower. I do seem to have an issue with the willpower part.

I have a very good doctor that hates pills and weight. He was very firm about the alternatives including insisting I have a will if I didnt change. Good to see you back dude.

My doc said I was borderline a few years ago. Told me to lay off the salt and take red yeast pills and fish oil pills to see if that helped. It dropped down to an acceptable level for him not to put me on meds yet. The last few visits it has been creeping back up but hoping that it will stay under control. Really don't want to go on meds to keep it down.

Interesting. I've never heard of those lowering BP. I tried taking Argonine for a while but it didn't help at all
