Sounds like a good doc who might pay attention in that sense.

I did lose weight though! My sweet doc says that this is a genetic thing. That he has it too. And there are herbs and supplements that help but they often contain the same things (in a more natural form, of course) that the meds do. It's one of those things. Who knows? Not me.

Oh boy.<br /><br />Your doctor was really smart to take your BP again and get what is probably (hopefully) a more accurate reading of what it's like in your day-to-day life.

I've never had high blood pressure except for the last few years, not terribly high and my last doctor who moved even farther away than she already was wasn't terribly concerned about it. glad the visit went well. I've read it's not the cholesterol but whether your veins and arteries are inflamed. it's the inflammation that causes the cholesterol to stick.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-67764082731023409382019-01-16T09:34:59.785-05:002019-01-16T09:34:59.785-05:00I am so happy to hear all went well with your doct...I am so happy to hear all went well with your doctor visit, and theses photos of maggie and august need to go right into the maggie and august hall of fame.
