i had hypertension a few years back & i was only in my early 40's. i was put on a water pill & clonidine; a blood pressure pill. i was told to loose weight. even though i've dropped a few pounds i still have trouble so i take the pills as needed. my hypertension stems from stress mostly. water pill helps alot. try to eat low salt too. it scared the crapola outa me but i feel it's a manageable deal now.
have you had blood sugar checked too??. high blood sugar can cause high blood pressure. when i eat right, eat low carb it helps alot.
i just recently had a big weight back slide. i've gained 20 pounds back & right off i noticed i needed the pills more. it wasn't so much the weight it was the high carb food i was eating. it transforms to glucose & again high blood sugar equals high blood pressure.
i've seen pix of you so weight is not an issue. in my case i've had impaired glucose tolerance problems, pregnancy diabetes & now type 2 diabetes. since i was 19. i weighted 98 pounds then. my body just doesn't process sugar right.
i would check sugar to see if there is an interaction going on. do you sit alot at work?? sitting even in a normal person makes blood sugar go up. that's why people get the sleepy headache in the afternoon. tina
