Subject: RE: BS: Treatment for v high blood pressure
Phot: One of the things you have to determine is the cause of the high BP. If you will, what are you calling high? That is, what is your BP? High BP can result from diet, stress, artery narrowing, smoking, drinking, etc. BP can be lowered with meds--ACE inhibitors or Beta blockers (if you are asthmatic, you CANNOT take beta blockers), but that diagnosis has to be left to a doctor. Diet can help, too, but that should be done under a doctor's supervision.
