Blood pressure medication and cancer patient
 
http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/pill-th...says-1.2276290

I have posted about blood pressure meds before and how they address the adrenaline receptors. It would be so helpful if the medical community would address the stress connection. News and Lani have posted information about bp meds. Trials are being done on lung cancer patients using bp meds.

In my case, I believe that the cancer was only in one place when it metastasized because I was on a beta blocker. I actually have low blood pressure but a doctor put me on metoprolol because I was having problems with my blood pressure dropping when I stood up. Within one month of starting the bp med my whole body seemed to relax.

Unfortunately, in the last year I've had shingles and a doctor accidentally punctured my lung while doing a pain management procedure and that was followed by a 45 pound weight loss which has put my body under incredible stress.

I don't think it says in the article what the pathway was, but I'll bet it has something to do with the adrenaline receptors. Maybe cannabis oil and meditation also address the issue. Just my thoughts.
