So, who here has high blood pressure? |
|
It's something I've been fighting for the past few years now, but apparently I've just lost the battle. It was elevated so I quit smoking, lost weight, became a vegetarian (cut sodium as well) and began exercising regularly.
I was still a little high but they let me get away without meds. This weekend, though, I got into some serious trouble and my bp went off the charts and I was having really bad headaches. Thankfully, the CT scan showed no problems.
So, here's some questions: I'm already doing diet and exercise, what else could I add? What meds are you on? What side effects have you had? Were you ever able to go off your meds? How much does this suck?
