When I had my booster earlier on in the year I asked the nurse why I was put on lisinopril. She told me because of my family history it sometimes can be hereditary and it was important that I had something to help me control my BP.
In January 2020 and it was around 152/113 at the time. Big shock but glad I found out. Since then I’ve made some lifestyle and diet changes. Incorporated some exercise, walking in my early stages and now run/walking and fundraising for #teambhf.
I’m on medication for the rest of my life but am thankful to my doctors practice for taking care of me. Sometimes we don’t thank them enough for the small things that make the huge difference 🙏💖
