I more or less follow the training program laid out in the Body by Science book by Doug McGuff. I'd recommend seeing if you can find natural ways to reduce your blood pressure so you can gradually cut back on the amount of prescribed medications you need to keep the blood pressure down. In general, doctors don't know natural. Doctors know diagnosis and then writing prescriptions to treat symptoms while giving practically no thought to the underlying CAUSE to those symptoms. The cause of your high blood pressure wasn't a deficiency of those drugs you're now taking.
Rx BP medicine is derived from venom of the pit viper. I always remember the quote I found about how grandma was never the same and her health deteriorated quickly after she started taking the BP medicine.
My doc wanted to put me on the medicine - lately 180 over 120 but I got it down with weight-lifting, plus the South Beach diet which is also the most heart healthy diet around and easy to follow. Just switch to more fish and seafood, avoid the poisons - all processed foods! Minimize sugars, starches and carbs including fruit but esp. avoiding fruit juices. All meats and veggies are AOK. EVEN bacon and eggs everyday for breakfast if you want!
