You poor dear. I feel for ya!! I tried the getting off all meds. I, too, was so tired of taking meds for one thing and it not reacting quite right with me in another way. But, alas, I didn't stick to healthy eating and exercise, and with my stress level, I ended up with two strokes. My Dr. tells me if I don't stay o these, I'm headed for worse. Thank goodness, no side effects with the ones I'm taking now.
Good luck, hun! ...>|<...

Reading that made ME itch and Im not even on any meds. May be more to do with the fact I havent hoovered my carpet for 10 days than anything ;)

But seriously, if you want to maintain your BP at a decent level you dont need meds to do it ... my friend just turned 65 and last year the doc wanted to put him on beta blockers for his bp ... pal wasnt keen on the idea - so managed to lower it and keep it lowered with a combo of adjusting his diet, increasing exercise and ( my suggestion ) upping his water intake a fair bit.

His diet is fairly normal, i.e he doesnt live on lettuce leaves and fresh air, just watches the fat and salt intake, and his excercise is mainly very long brisk walks ... so the adjustments dont have to be radical or uncomfortable ....good luck with it, it can be done.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, small changes can have big effects, especially if they are done consistently.
