Part of the plot against MAWGs? First they took away PSA tests to see how many they could kill with prostate cancer; now it looks like they want to limit blood pressure medication (much of which is now available in cheap generic form.

Anybody who falls for JAMA b/s is truly foolish! NEJM is slightly more intelligent..like “dumb” to “stupid” comparison and the fact that Zero owns webmd is truly frightening.
Medicalnacht…anyone?!!!
I had a nice steady blood pressure of around 162 over 102 for a couple of years and stopped drinking. After two weeks, no change. After two months, I was right in the middle of “normal”. We thought the machine was broken so we took several readings of me and my wife.
But it was true. And all that that implies.
My BP is 95/69. In my younger days it was 90/60 or worse. I used to pass out a lot.

In the past 5 years, my BP went from 110-120/80 to (with the home devices) 160/115! WTF?
