Yeah, I hear ya.. I think if your BP is a result of lifestyle and diet and whatnot, then you can do more to lower it without meds.. but, like you, stupid high BP run sin my mom's side of the family and it certainly didn't skip me.. but my mom's was SKY high - I remember MANY times hers was WAY over 200 on the first number and she was hospitalized for it.. Luckily I haven't gone that high yet, but I'm also not yet as old as she was when hers went that high.
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
