Hey,

Why so sad

? At least it is kept under control right ? Better than having a vein go pfffsssssst in my brain. Cheep up, few pills a day beats out being pralyzed or worse.

I feel sort of tired today, small headache on the top of my head. Woke up at 5, no papers, called boss, slept till 5:15, woke up, no papers, call, sleep, 5:30, wake up, call, went on till 9 am ! At last he calls back at 9:20 am !!!!!!!! Papers were to be done by till 8 am. Anyways, he says, truck guy says he left them and there were cops everywhere, and we decide that cops would not get all 450 copies of the paers. I get fed up, walk outside the house, and see that papers are in the neighbours porch , three houses away, and invisible from our house of course ! The guy left them at the wrong house. So we go out and do them ....... And I have this srange feeling ..... BP is normal .... but slight headache ...

Gonna rest now and sleep early .....

So, cheer up, life is beautiful [

birolDW has taken beta blockers for almost 16 years for bp. Some work better than others for different people. Over the years she has had 5-6 different meds.
Hopefully your doctor is up to date on the need to eat as close to natural foods, stay away from processed, and be suspicious of the 5 white foods-fat, flour, milk, salt, and sugar.

birolBirol,
YOur right....I guess I m just sad at the fact that I ve been taking them for about 3 years now (started when I was 38)...I guess I just feel to " young" to have high blood pressure because I m so active. (the problem is that no matter how active and how well I eat....it s heriearty (sp) and there isn t anything I can do about that)

brainpauseIf I can loose abou 40 lbs, I will not need BP pills. I did it before, as the weigh came off (cominationhigh protien low fat/low carbs, except a lot of friuts and non starchy vegetable, the BP got lower and lower, they were adjustingmy meds almost monthly, until all I was on was garlic. Kept the weight off pretty well for about 3 years. I am starting over, and need to stop the taters and eat more fish...[: (]
