[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand the fear of medication. I have high blood pressure. Diet has some effect, but 200/140 isn't going to be fixed by diet and weight loss. 30mg of Linisopril has me at the high end of normal. Yes, I am 15-20 lbs overweight and I exercise regularly. It helps but doesn't make much difference. [/quote] Fear of medication is that it comes with side effects. I think people should always try lifestyle changes first before popping pills. That said, if medication is NEEDED to manage the condition then of course one should take it. It's good to be well educated on the meds and monitoring. [/quote]
