Thank you Diane & Michelle for your encouraging words. Yes high blood pressure does seem to be a family problem. I do see the doctor regularly & am seeing her again on Monday to discuss my blood pressure & the results of blood work, ecg. & pulmonary function tests etc. that she recently requisitioned.
My stress is primarily work related & seems to be beyond my control right now - I suspect many people are in the same boat these days!
I am currently on Ramipril, ASA, & Hydrochlorathalmazide for my blood pressure as well as vitamin B12 for a deficiency. (Despite my efforts to eat spinach, kale & brocolli every day)!
Mostly I find my stomach hurts all the time since starting the blood pressure medicine & I seem to be increasingly tired, although everyone keeps telling me that my increased physical activity will give me more energy. And since I still don't seem to be able to keep my blood pressure under control I have to wonder what is the point in continuing to take it.

Thank you again for your encouragment though.
