Title: Blood Pressure Medication
Post by: paulsed1 on December 28, 2010, 09:14:29 AM
I have had on-again, off-again issues with high blood pressure for a while now.  I weigh around 250 lbs, not sure of my body fat percentage.  51 inch chest, 18 1/2 inch arms or so, waist is a little over 40 inches, so I could definitely lose some fat.  I know all the various methods one can approach for lowering the BP.  The question is more about the medication.  I have a history of trying both Bennicar and Lisinopril, both for a pretty short period of time.  I usually felt worse taking those than I did from any symptoms from HBP.  I need to up the cardio and try one last time to get this down naturally before taking medicine again, but I sometimes wonder if I am destined to take medicine because it can get pretty high sometimes.  Does anyone take any medicine that has helped them and not affected anything atl all; i.e. workouts are the same, can take any supplement, etc?  Nothing would make me happier to take a simple pill and get the BP down without side effects, but it seems hard to do.
