Nemo : just took my pressure and it was 171/104


Out of curiosity Captain,
Are you the type that salts down everything you eat?
Reducing the salt intake might help?

http://health.clevelandclinic.org/if-you-have-high-blood-pressure-salt-still-matters/

For decades, you’ve heard the advice: Cut down on salt because it’s bad for your heart — not to mention your kidneys and other organs.

But if you follow health news, you know recent research has questioned this conventional wisdom. Several studies show evidence that if you are otherwise healthy, taking drastic measures to reduce salt in your diet may not reduce your risk of heart disease. Some studies even suggest an extremely low-salt diet can do more harm than good.

Does that mean you should pick up a salt shaker and apply generously? Not so fast. The key phrase above is “otherwise healthy.”

For example, if you have high blood pressure (hypertension), you may not need to cut out salt entirely, but how much sodium you eat may still matter. New research from the Lerner Research Institute is shedding light on this mysterious connection.

at least to this site. The first one,,,,,,,,,,,

Worst Drug # 1: Lisinopril

Lisinopril lodged 406,180 complaints to the FDA in under 10 years because of side effects like nausea, vomiting, kidney failure, and even heart attacks - the very thing the drug is supposed to prevent.

And many people report coughing fits that even wake them up in the middle of the night. (Up to 1 in 3 Lisinopril users report this persistent coughing.) For some, the coughing is so severe it causes vomiting and dizziness (one elderly patient even broke her ribs after a severe cough attack!) Even more worrisome, the cough can stick around for months even after Lisinopril has been stopped.


This happened to me after taking this one.............


and the second one............


Worst Drug # 3: Amlodipine, sold as "Norvasc"

Amlodipine is notorious for causing side effects like headache, hair loss, and diarrhea. It can also infect your peace of mind by triggering depression, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts.

By far the most common side effect is painful swelling in the ankles and wrists, bad enough to leave you bed-ridden. (Amlodipine can cause blood to leak into healthy tissue, causing it to swell up.) One sufferer said it was like "walking on balloons" which made it "unbearable to walk."


I stopped taking the first today and that Viscous cough stopped BUT, just took my pressure and it was 171/104. I am dammed if I do and damned if I dont.........What a PILL world we live in...........
