Go to the doctor, be honest, get and take the necessary meds. Exercise, even if it's only a walk. Watch your diet like a hawk. Cut back on salt. Drink lots of water.

So far I drink lots of water and I take the meds the doctor prescribed, but hey! I know what I should be doing.

I've found that they want you to drink water but they don't want you to flavor it, like with Scotch or Bourbon. Darn.

A good dog (and sometimes a cat) helps, too.
