I know I have thanked you many times but it is hard for me to express how very grateful I am for your help so I will thank you again.
With your knowledge I was able to make the minor changes to my diet and supplements you suggested with huge results. Thank goodness for someone like you who...

I think maybe sugar or honey may be the best best. I only need a little to sweeten my oatmeal and green tea so I think in those small amounts it is better than the other alternatives.
I am starting to think that way. I only use about 2 teaspooons a day anyway (one for my oatmeal, one for green tea).
That shouldn't hurt too much. May just use the Splenda I have left then stop.
Wow, thanks for helping me out.
I guess my thinking was that when my dad and siblings had BP problems there were outside factors contributing to it (my Dad smoking, my sister's weight problem).
I just figured if I lost some weight, got on a good weight and exercise program, and took some...
Well I am going to hit the gym and going to visit friends tonight.
Let me know if you have more questions or specifics on anything I have answered to this point. I am resigned to get on meds if I have to because I do not want to play around with this but I sure wish I could get it under...
I drink almost a gallon of water a day. Have never been on diuretics. I do not think I retain water more during the heat, nothing noticable.
I am heat tolerant.
I would say I am somewhat deadline driven and time conscious. Always worried about not being on time. I do not have a long commute to...
No acid reflux or acid indigestion issues.
I never get headaches, maybe a slight one once in a great while. The only time I ever get lightheaded is when at the computer too long but never any other time. Since I eat 6 times I rarely get hungry during the day.
Energy is high during the day and...
During the week I go to bed between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. and wake at 5:45 a.m. then snooze til about 6:00 a.m.
On weekends usually the same but I usually do not get up until I wake up which is sometime between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
I would say I wake up about 2 to 3 times, mostly in the...
Forgot to mention my dad smoked from 17 to 77 when he quit. Smoked about 10 cigarettes a day. Aunt who had heart attack smoked also (up until time she had heart attack)
Neither I nor any of my siblings smoke.
Also my dads brother died at a young age (63) of massive heart attack but was...
Grandparents
Grandfather on Mother's side- Hardening of artiries died at 72
Grandmother on Mother's side- Died of heart attack at 87, no health problems up to that point.
Both had very bad diets. Remember my Granmother eating fried pork fat, very fatty foods.
Grandfather on Dad side- Died of...
Hi Everyone.
I am really bummed out because I have done so much to try to lower my Blood Pressure to no avail.
In February I was up to 204 pounds (5'10" 45 years old) and I noticed my Blood Pressure readings were about 150 to 160/85 to 90. I decided I was going to work hard at doing things...
