Over the last few years i have gone through a myriad of tablets none of which worked satisfactorily. But having said that, for me it seems that gluten was a huge problem where bp was concerned. I have been diagnosed coeliac and b12deficient, and its been over eighteen months now and i still have days when my bp decides for apparently no reason it goes on a high and even during that time i have been the guinea pig for more tablets. At the moment im on felodopine which is a slow release tablet which seems to be doing its job far better than any others i have ‘trialed’.

There are many types of bp medication its just finding the one which has the most beneficial response for yourself.

I've made life changes took stresses out my life eat healthy exercise I've lost 2 stone in weight...... I wish it was anxiety then I could come of the tablets unfortunately nothing has changed..... x
