Well, I made an appointment to see my Doctor today. He took my blood pressure and I told him my family history of high blood pressure and cholesterol. He looked at my last blood work and promptly gave me a prescription for Diovan which he informed me had little side effects.
I felt a sinking feeling come across me when he gave me the medication sample as though I had some how failed and I was a sick helpless person. He took an EKG but found nothing wrong with my heart (that was good news). Anyway I will have to return in a month…
The good news is I lost ten pounds. All the healthy eating and exercise are paying off. I am determined to lower my blood pressure naturally and will continue with my body and mind exercises.
