Sorry to hear that you've been under the weather but glad to hear you are on your way to feeling better with your blood pressure regulated and, yes, may Springtime find you in the water and dry ground with high expectations of finding something great in the process of hunting for lost treasure! Amen! Ma

Do they/you know what is causing your high blood pressure? I have worked at a hospital for going on 22 years now and although I am not a doctor I have dealt with many people with many conditions. Not dissing your physician, but they can sometimes get stuck in the process of treating the symptom rather than the cause. As much as I hate to admit it Doctor's are in the business to make money of course and will a lot of time focus on putting your through a barrage of tests, because they make money from your insurance off them, and not focus on what is the cause and fixing it. Fixing it takes money out of their pockets. Most would rather threat a symptom for years than fix the problem and not see you again.

If you have a condition (clogged arteries, etc.) If they just claim hypertension is the need for the BP medicine then they need to be looking at a fix. Find out WHY you have HBP. Not to alarm people but taking high blood pressure medicine over a long period is not good for you. Find the problem and demand to get it fixed that is your Right.

Good points SouthWind.
Also IF one isn't their OWN advocate one gets left behind.

Praise God! You're back to normal again. Hope you continue to heal.

You are so right Southwind.....Money is what they care about...most businesses and the Government leaders...so don't cure but put a bandaid on the sore or problem! Push Meds and etc. for that is where the money is and the Root of all Evil is the Love of Money which has nearly destroyed our nation for the past 8 years and more going back to the Bushes and Clintons! SAD situation indeed! We need God Jehovah back in our nation and, hopefully, Pres Trump will be able to do that even with all those coming against him, but our God is greater than their god, satan! Thank You Lord that we don't have Hillary nor BO any longer to contend with their evil ways! Amen! Ma
