My blood pressure had jumped to 150/95 after indulging on a Royal Caribbean cruise in early April.

Now it is down to 130/80. Main reason is 22 minutes daily fast walk with wrist weights. Also cut calories intake a bit.
Still taking Lisinopril minimum dose 10 mg pills daily. Planning on cutting that down slowly. I am 85 years old on calendar. Don’t feel old at all.

What’s the placebo? That seemed to do pretty well too.

“We were specifically studying a new approach to addressing imbalanced aldosterone, which is an often underrecognized cause for treatment-resistant hypertension,”

Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands and there is a blood test that can identify it is out of wack. If it is not out of wack there is no need for this new medicine. I know, had blood tests looking for the aldosterone condition. In my case its levels were fine.
