Don’t listen to anyone who is yapping about getting on blood pressure meds. They kill. High blood pressure is only a symptom. Lowering it with those drugs doesn’t address the problem.

I thought HBP was the problem, and a big one, whatever the cause. If medication lowers it, the problem is addressed. No? We'd all like to solve our health problems without medication, but most times that is impossible. How do the meds kill?

“How do the meds kill?”
I don’t except some doctor knowing what effects certain meds may have on me. There are dozens of side effects for certain drugs. Trust but verify. I’ve used this website for years, type your prescription in and find out the problems others have had. We increasingly need to be proactive about our own health.
