I have been unwell recently and feel that the Blood pressure medication I am on is not right for me .So I am interested at reading about the different medications.

I wish I could contribute more but I am quite ignorant about the field of blood pressure. This is unfortunate since I have high BP and would like to reduce it - but not with the awful drugs they would like you to take. I am already balancing my thyroid meds and I don't want to introduce a drug that will blow that long fought for fine balance out of whack. I wish I could contribute more, I'm sorry.

I think there should have been another option in the vote for people who (like me) would say a great deal if they were more knowledgeable, having to vote "I feel I have nothing to say" isn't quite the truth.

I totally understand what you mean. Along with BP meds I made different lifestyle choices.

I get exercise when I can I stopped drinking alcohol and eat healthy foods.

I also read quite a bit on the subject and I found that the British heart foundation website is a very good place to start.

Good luck

It depends on if someone asks a question I can answer.
