High blood pressure

[doug the slug]

my wife died about a month after she decided, without consulting her doctor, not to take the blood pressure pills.

enough said.

Al,, you big girly handbag, DON'T listen to some half wit who tells you can fix high blood pressure in your head, he obviously has some vital components missing in his! If you are wary of taking whatever medication the Doctor has prescribed then go and talk to your Pharmacist as they knoiw even more about the actual drugs usually than the Doctor. Drugs and their effects and interactions are what the Pharmacist is all about. To throw them in the bin because of the silly list which has every possible symptom that has been reported as MAY E being associated with that particular drug is irresponsible and possibly dangerous to your health.
Al, talk to the Chemist and then take your meddy like a big boy!

Thats right on the mark Al,
Its not mind over matter.

If your bp's even just a bit high you run the risk of stroke or heart attack etc. Heart attack might or might not kill you.
A stroke can leave you paralyzed and incapacitated.

Take yer pills,
if they cause problems go back to quack and change to different pills.

The only way you might safely avoid pills is to totally change your lifestyle and especially your diet and what you eat and drink and browse on.

Bob's right Al take your tablets. I have had two cardio vascular incidents and have high blood pressure I take my tablets wouldn't be here if I didn't. Don't be a BLOODY IDIOT.

Like I said boys and girls, it is only ever so slightly high, not a bit, just slightly.

I think the Doc was trying to be seen to do the right thing.

The other thing that #### me about the pills is the little red sticker on the box that states........this medicine may affect mental alertness adn/or co-ordination, do not drive or operate machinery.

Dont drive, hmm how do I get to work.
Affects co-ordination, sort of defeats me going to work as its all co-ordination in bricklaying.

If I drop off the perch its been nice knowing you all....

It's a scam Al. Doctors & Pharmacists & Drug companies are all in it up to there collective ears.

[doug the slug]

Al, if the pills you are on have side effects that make your life difficult, see your doctor about changing to another type. there are heaps of different pills out there that lower teh blood pressure, with different side effects. i had to change mine once because of an undesireable side effect, and the ones i take now do nothing but control my blood pressure.

Cliff, for a lot of modern medicine you are probably right but blood pressure tablets do lower blood pressure and my wife would probably be alive today if she had taken hers.

Right as rain Judy.
Like was said earlier, its all in ya head.
Ive stopped worrying about the un-worryable and its feels good.
I need to get a grip , on things that really matter.

Sorry guys, but I wouldnt take this medication crap if you paid me.....
