[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] My doctor won't prescribe them. I'm overweight but work out a lot and I've had higher than normal readings but she doesn't do anything. It worries me because I've been reading that what we consider normal is actually to generous. I do know if I drop salty foods - strictly drop the salt - it goes down.[/quote]
