I've been on a generic diazide for years. Some 5 years ago my doctor added Lisinopril. These 2 meds keep my BP safely below the 140/90 level. I have a cuff here at home and check it fairly regularly (once or twice a week). Typical readings lately have been in the 130/80 range. You might ask about these, they're not pricey.

I'm not on it anymore. So, I walk a risky path. I went to an organic diet, many less wheat products in the diet, more meditation, and mild exercise. It is slowly coming down, but I have to keep emotional outbursts to a minimum, which is tough to do sometimes. Even if the heat (anger) isn't given outlet to spoken word, it still inhabits the body, and up goes the BP.

It certainly is a dynamic process, how the mind and the health dance.
